CVE-2026-74456
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: peak_usb: peak_usb_start(): fix double free of transfer buffer on URB submit error
In peak_usb_start(), each RX URB transfer buffer is allocated with kmalloc() and the URB is flagged URB_FREE_BUFFER so that the final usb_free_urb() also frees the transfer buffer.
If usb_submit_urb() fails, the error path frees the buffer explicitly with kfree(buf) and then calls usb_free_urb(urb). Because URB_FREE_BUFFER is set, usb_free_urb() -> urb_destroy() frees the same buffer a second time, a double free of the transfer buffer.
Drop the redundant kfree(buf); usb_free_urb() already releases the transfer buffer. This mirrors commit 03819abbeb11 ("net: usb: lan78xx: Fix double free issue with interrupt buffer allocation").
