CVE-2026-68367

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_tcm: synchronize delayed set_alt with teardown The f_tcm set_alt() path defers endpoint setup to a work item and completes the delayed status response from process context. The delayed work uses f_tcm private state and may complete the setup request after disconnect or function teardown has already moved on. Cancel and drain the delayed set_alt work when the function is unbound or freed. For disable paths, which are reached under the composite device lock, use a small state machine and a non-sleeping cancellation path instead of cancel_work_sync(). If the work is already running, mark it cancelled and let the worker own the cleanup; otherwise tcm_disable() can cancel the queued work and clean up immediately. Also serialize the final delayed-status completion with the cancellation check while holding the composite device lock. This prevents a disconnect from clearing delayed_status while the worker is about to complete the control request.
