CVE-2026-64337 — usb: mtu3: unmap request DMA on queue failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: mtu3: unmap request DMA on queue failure mtu3_gadget_queue() maps the request before checking whether the QMU GPD ring can accept another transfer. the request is returned with -EAGAIN before it is linked on the endpoint request list if mtu3_prepare_transfer() fails. Normal completion and dequeue paths unmap requests from mtu3_req_complete(), but this error path never reaches that helper, so the DMA mapping is left active. Unmap the request before returning from the failed queue path.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- Technical severity (medium)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
