It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-90045 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90045/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90045/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-90045","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90045/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-90045","record":{"aliases":["AZL-101166","BELL-CVE-2026-90045","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-90045","GHSA-g8pp-pjx5-c2hv","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90045"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB gadget","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel USB gadget functionfs driver allows local attackers to execute code or escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nUSB: gadget: ffs: fix mm lifetime handling\n\nio_data stores a pointer to the submitting task's mm_struct,\nbut does not currently hold a reference to it while async\nrequests are pending.\n\nThis can result in a use-after-free if the task exits before\ncompletion handling finishes.\n\nTake a reference with mmgrab() when queuing the read request\nand release it with mmdrop() on request completion.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"USB: gadget: ffs: fix mm lifetime handling","id":"CVE-2026-90045","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"mm/page_alloc: don't spin_trylock() in NMI on UP","id":"CVE-2026-90046"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix Use-After-Free in AIO error path","id":"CVE-2026-90044"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-09-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-21","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel USB gadget functionfs driver allows local attackers to execute code or escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90045/"}
