AI-suggested
A patch addressing this vulnerability is available and has been released in Linux kernel versions 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1 and later. Users and administrators should update affected Linux kernel versions to these fixed releases to remediate the memory leak. No additional mitigation actions are required beyond applying the official fix.
Description
CVE-2026-64328 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's USB gadget function (f_fs) that causes a memory leak due to improper reference counting of DMA fence objects. Specifically, the first reference to a dma_fence object is never released, leading to slow memory leakage as more objects are created. This issue has been fixed by transferring ownership of the fence to the DMA reservation object and properly releasing the reference. The vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions prior to 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1 and similar builds. A patch is available and has been released in fixed versions starting with 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1 and later.
