Overview

CVE-2026-68371 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 10, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

usb: musb: omap2430: Do not put borrowed of_node in probe

omap2430_probe() stores pdev->dev.of_node in a local np variable. This is

a borrowed pointer and the probe function does not take a reference to

it.

The success and error paths nevertheless call of_node_put(np). This drops

a reference that is owned by the platform device, and can leave

pdev->dev.of_node with an unbalanced reference count.

Do not put the borrowed platform device node from omap2430_probe().

References taken for the child MUSB device are handled by the device core,

and the ctrl-module phandle reference is still released separately.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
