CVE-2026-64331
Overview
CVE-2026-64331 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 25, 2026.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbip: vudc: fix NULL deref in vep_dequeue()
vep_alloc_request() wasn't initializing vrequest->udc, so cancellations
on the FunctionFS AIO path were arriving in vep_dequeue without a valid
UDC reference.
Since vrequest->udc is never actually properly used anywhere, we opt to
remove it, and update vep_dequeue to obtain a reference to the udc with
ep_to_vudc(), consistent with the other vep_ ops.
AFAICT this bug has existed for ~10 years. Seems that nobody has really
stressed the FunctionFS AIO path on usbip's vudc.
I tested this fix in a QEMU aarch64 guest driving FunctionFS endpoints
via AIO. Before the fix, running `usbip attach` from the host would
cause the guest to oops with the following backtrace:
