CVE-2026-64233 — usb: gadget: uvc: hold opts->lock across XU walks in uvc_function_bind

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: uvc: hold opts->lock across XU walks in uvc_function_bind

uvc_function_bind() walks &opts->extension_units twice without holding opts->lock:

- directly, for the iExtension string-descriptor fixup loop; - indirectly, four times via uvc_copy_descriptors() (once per speed), where the helper iterates uvc->desc.extension_units (which aliases &opts->extension_units) to size and emit XU descriptors.

The configfs side (uvcg_extension_make / uvcg_extension_drop, in drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_configfs.c) takes opts->lock around its list_add_tail / list_del operations. A privileged userspace process that holds the configfs subtree open and writes the gadget UDC name to bind the function while concurrently rmdir()'ing an extensions subdir can race uvcg_extension_drop() against the bind-time list walks and dereference a freed struct uvcg_extension.

Hold opts->lock from the start of the XU string-descriptor fixup through the last uvc_copy_descriptors() call, releasing on the descriptor-error path via a new error_unlock label that drops the lock before falling through to the existing error label. This matches the locking discipline of the configfs callbacks and removes the only remaining unsynchronised reader of the XU list during bind.

Reachability: only privileged processes that can mount configfs and write to gadget UDC files can trigger the race, so this is a correctness fix rather…

USN-8618-1 — linux-aws, linux-raspi vulnerabilities

Affected: Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: linux-aws, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: linux-raspi

It was discovered that some AMD Zen 2 processors did not properly isolate shared resources in the operation cache. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to corrupt instructions executed at a higher privilege level, resulting in privilege escalation. (CVE-2025-54518)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - x86 platform drivers; - Cryptographic API; - PSP security protocol; - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - MIPS architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Intel NPU Driver; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - ACPI drivers; - Auxiliary display drivers; - Drivers core; - DRBD Distributed Replicated Block Device drivers; - Rados block device (RBD) driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Bus devices; - Character device driver; - Clock framework and drivers; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - DPLL subsystem; - EDAC drivers; - Arm Firmware Framework for ARMv8-A(FFA); - EFI core; - FWCTL subsystem; - GPIO subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - I2C subsystem; - I…
