Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-02-04 17:01:43 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: gs_usb: gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): unanchor URL on usb_submit_urb() error

In commit 7352e1d5932a ("can: gs_usb: gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix
URB memory leak"), the URB was re-anchored before usb_submit_urb() in
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback() to prevent a leak of this URB during
cleanup.

However, this patch did not take into account that usb_submit_urb() could
fail. The URB remains anchored and
usb_kill_anchored_urbs(&parent->rx_submitted) in gs_can_close() loops
infinitely since the anchor list never becomes empty.

To fix the bug, unanchor the URB when an usb_submit_urb() error occurs,
also print an info message.
