CVE-2026-23058

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The Linux kernel contains a memory leak in the ems usb read bulk callback() function. This issue occurs because the USB framework unanchors URBs before the completion function is called, preventing their release in ems usb close(). The fix involves anchoring the URB in the ems usb read bulk callback() function to the dev->rx submitted anchor. The issue is similar to a previously resolved memory leak in gs usb receive bulk callback(). URBs are USB request blocks used for data transfer.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
