Overview

CVE-2026-89739 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 11, 2026.

Technical description

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

usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix use-after-free in dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints due to race condition

In dwc3_gadget_init_endpoint, &dep->nostream_work is bound with

dwc3_nostream_work, and dwc3_gadget_endpoint_stream_event can queue

this delayed work on system_percpu_wq when a DEPEVT_STREAM_NOSTREAM

event is received.

If we remove the gadget, dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints makes cleanup and

the memory allocated for dep with kzalloc() is released by kfree(dep),

while the delayed work mentioned above may still be pending or

running. The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as

follows:

CPU0 CPU1

| dwc3_thread_interrupt

| dwc3_endpoint_interrupt

| dwc3_gadget_endpoint_stream_event

| queue_delayed_work(system_percpu_

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89739?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89739 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.
