Kernel crash via premature f_tcm session teardown
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026
Use-after-free in Linux kernel f_tcm 3.5 through affected branch revisions allows local users to crash the kernel during LUN teardown. usbg_port_unlink decrements tpg_port_count before core_dev_del_lun drains active LUN references, letting concurrent nexus removal free sess_cmd_map while usbg_cmd work remains active. Reaching the flaw requires local gadget-management access and a last-LUN unlink race with nexus removal; the demonstrated consequence is a target-core BUG/Oops.
