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-2026-98762 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-2026-98762/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98762/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-98762","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-98762/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-98762","record":{"aliases":["AZL-108869","BELL-CVE-2026-98762","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-98762","GHSA-g24x-rpv9-j8mw","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98762"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel DWC2 USB driver allows local attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute code by triggering a race condition during HCD removal.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nUSB: dwc2: shut down wakeup timer before freeing HCD state\n\ndwc2_wakeup_detected() accesses the DWC2 host state and can rearm the\nwakeup timer.  dwc2_hcd_free() currently deletes the timer only after\nfreeing host-owned state, and timer_delete() does not synchronize a\ncallback or prevent it from being queued again.\n\nStop and shut down the timer in dwc2_hcd_release(), before the HCD\nresources are freed.
