Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's f_tcm USB gadget module. A race condition can occur during the teardown of a Logical Unit Number (LUN) when it overlaps with a session removal. This timing issue can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, causing the system to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-04 16:04:57 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: f_tcm: keep port count until LUN teardown completes

tcm_usbg_drop_nexus() permits session removal once tpg_port_count
reaches zero. However, usbg_port_unlink() currently decrements that
count from the fabric_pre_unlink() callback, before core_dev_del_lun()
waits for active se_lun references to drain.

If removal of the last LUN races a nexus removal, the latter can observe
a zero port count and call target_remove_session(). This frees
sess_cmd_map while an in-flight struct usbg_cmd, including its work item,
can still be accessed.

Overlapping the last-LUN unlink with nexus removal reproduces this
lifetime violation as a DEBUG_OBJECTS "free active" warning for
usbg_cmd_work, followed by a target-core BUG/Oops.

The generic target-core unlink path has no callback after
core_dev_del_lun() completes. Add an optional fabric_post_unlink()
callback and use it for the f_tcm port count. The count now remains
nonzero until core_dev_del_lun() has finished draining active LUN
references, preventing nexus removal from freeing the session during
command completion.
