CVE-2026-64341
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: iowarrior: fix use-after-free on disconnect race
mutex_unlock() may access the mutex structure after releasing the lock and therefore cannot be used to manage lifetime of objects directly (unlike spinlocks and refcounts). [1][2]
Use a kref to release the driver data to avoid use-after-free in mutex_unlock() when release() races with disconnect().

T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 %
CWE-416 (use-after-free) con acceso local (AV:L) y privilegios requeridos (PR:L) sin interacción del usuario permite escalada de privilegios; el texto confirma que la vulnerabilidad afecta a la gestión de memoria del kernel, permitiendo ejecución de código arbitrario una vez elevados los privilegios
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
