Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93118)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93118). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: aspeed_udc: check endpoint DMA allocation
ast_udc_probe() allocates a coherent DMA buffer used as the backing store
for endpoint buffers. ast_udc_init_ep() derives per-endpoint buffer
pointers from udc->ep0_buf, so a failed allocation is dereferenced during
probe.
Check the allocation before endpoint setup. The existing probe error path
called ast_udc_remove(), which unregisters the gadget unconditionally and
is not safe before usb_add_gadget_udc() succeeds. Add a local cleanup
helper for probe failures so pre-registration failures only unwind the
resources that were actually initialized.
This was found by a local static analysis checker for unchecked allocator
returns while scanning Linux 6.16. The change was checked by applying it
to current mainline and by running checkpatch. I do not have access to
Aspeed UDC hardware, so no runtime testing was performed.

CVE-2026-93118 (Linux kernel)
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
