Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-64491

critical Nessus Plugin ID 329757

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- ALSA: usx2y: us144mkii: fix work UAF on disconnect tascam_disconnect() cancels capture_work and midi_in_work before usb_kill_anchored_urbs() kills the capture/MIDI-in URBs. Those URBs self-resubmit, and their completion handlers reschedule the work. A URB that completes in the small window between cancel_work_sync() and usb_kill_anchored_urbs() therefore re-arms the work after its only cancel. Nothing cancels it again before snd_card_free() frees the card-private tascam structure, so the work handler then runs on freed memory. Kill the anchored URBs before cancelling the work; once the work is cancelled no remaining URB can complete to re-arm it. (CVE-2026-64491)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
