Kernel crash or privilege escalation via teardown race
Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel Broadcom BDC USB gadget driver allows local users to crash the kernel or gain elevated privileges. The bdc_remove path frees endpoint objects, the DMA status ring, and the endpoint array before shared IRQ handling and self-rearming func_wake_notify work are drained. Local access that can initiate BDC platform-driver teardown is required; the stale handler or work item can panic the kernel or corrupt kernel memory.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
