Sep 3 ENRICHED — CVE-2026-64338 (Linux). Received CVSS 5.5 and CPE data from NVD.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: misc: uss720: unregister parport on probe failure
uss720_probe() registers a parport before reading the 1284 register used
to detect unsupported Belkin F5U002 adapters. If get_1284_register()
fails, the error path drops the driver private data and the USB device
reference, but leaves the parport device registered.
Leaving the port registered is more than a private allocation leak:
parport_register_port() has already reserved a parport number and
registered the parport bus device, while pp->private_data still points at
the private data that the common error path is about to release.
Undo the pre-announce registration in the get_1284_register() failure
branch before jumping to the common private-data cleanup path. Clear
priv->pp first, matching the disconnect path and avoiding a stale pointer
in the private data.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.
