Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-93117

critical Nessus Plugin ID 347671

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.

 - usb: fix UAF when probe runs concurrent to dyn ID removal Dynamic IDs are only guaranteed to be valid when usb_dynids_lock is held, as remove_id_store can free the node. Thus, make a copy in usb_probe_interface.
 Clarify the documentation that the id parameter is only valid during the probe. USB serial has the same pattern, but it does not need fixing as the IDs cannot be removed via sysfs. (CVE-2026-93117)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
