CVE-2026-93214 — usb: gadget: f_tcm: fix deadlock in usbg_make_tpg()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_tcm: fix deadlock in usbg_make_tpg() usbg_make_tpg() held dep_lock while calling configfs_depend_item_unlocked(), which acquires the configfs root inode lock when operating across subsystems. This creates a circular lock dependency with configfs_rmdir(): dep_lock -> configfs root inode lock -> su_mutex -> dep_lock In usbg_make_tpg(), dep_lock only serialized the read of opts->ready, which is a monotonic flag that transitions from false to true exactly once (in tcm_set_name()) and never reverts. Remove dep_lock from usbg_make_tpg() entirely and use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to access opts->ready locklessly instead.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+1

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.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.
