Description

CVE-2024-58055 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's USB gadget f_tcm driver where a command is prematurely freed, leading to a double-free condition. The flaw occurs because the command is freed before the completion of the sense status, which can cause memory corruption. This issue affects multiple Linux kernel versions used in Ubuntu distributions and has been fixed in updated kernel releases.
