CVE-2026-68367 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-68367: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_tcm: synchronize delayed set_alt with teardown The f_tcm set_alt() path defers endpoint setup to a work item and completes the delayed status response from process context. The delayed work uses f_tcm private state and may complete the setup request after disconnect or function teardown has already moved on. Cancel and drain the delayed set_alt work when the function is unbound or freed. For disable paths, which are reached under the composite device lock, use a small state machine and a non-sleeping cancellation path instead of cancel_work_sync(). If the work is already running, mark it cancelled and let the worker own the cleanup; otherwise tcm_disable() can cancel the queued work and clean up immediately. Also serialize the final delayed-status completion with the cancellation check while holding the composite device lock. This prevents a disconnect from clearing delayed_status while the worker is about to complete the control request.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-68367

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-68367 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-68367

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-68367.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-68367, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
