Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: f_fs: serialize DMABUF cancel against request completion

ffs_epfile_dmabuf_io_complete() calls usb_ep_free_request() on the

completed request but leaves priv->req, the back-pointer that

ffs_dmabuf_transfer() set on submission, pointing at the freed

memory. A later FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH ioctl or

ffs_epfile_release() on the close path still sees priv->req

non-NULL under ffs->eps_lock:

if (priv->ep && priv->req)

usb_ep_dequeue(priv->ep, priv->req);

so usb_ep_dequeue() is called on a freed usb_request.

On dummy_hcd the dequeue path only walks a live queue and

pointer-compares, so the freed pointer reads without faulting and

KASAN requires an explicit check at the FunctionFS call site to

surface the use-after-free. On SG-capable in-tree UDCs the

dequeue path dereferences the supplied request immediately:

* chipidea's ep_dequeue() does

container_of(req, struct ci_hw_req, req) and

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-63894?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-63894 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
