CVE-2026-74680

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: atm: cxacru: properly kill rcv_urb on error in cxacru_cm() If cxacru_cm() encounters an error while submitting or waiting for snd_urb, it aborts and returns the error without killing the already submitted rcv_urb. This leaves the rcv_urb active. When this happens during initialization (e.g., in cxacru_atm_start()), the driver may ignore the error and proceed to call cxacru_poll_status(), which invokes cxacru_cm() again. Attempting to submit the still-active rcv_urb triggers a warning in usb_submit_urb(): cxacru 1-1:1.0: send of cm 0x84 failed (-104) ATM dev 0: cxacru_atm_start: CHIP_ADSL_LINE_START returned -104 ------------[ cut here ]------------ URB ffff88812658d200 submitted while active WARNING: drivers/usb/core/urb.c:379 at usb_submit_urb+0x79/0x18b0 drivers/usb/core/urb.c:379 ...

To fix this, ensure that rcv_urb is properly killed if cxacru_cm() aborts early. We can safely call usb_kill_urb() on rcv_urb in the error path, as it is safe to call even if the URB is not active (e.g., if it failed to submit in the first place, or if it already completed).

To fix this, ensure that rcv_urb is properly killed if cxacru_cm() aborts early. We can safely call usb_kill_urb() on rcv_urb in the error path, as it is safe to call even if the URB is not active (e.g., if it failed to submit in the first place, or if it already completed). The practical risk depends on whether an affected product/version is present, reachable and configured in an exploitable way. Review the affected-product evidence and linked vendor advisories before assigning exposure status.

Assessment: Potential exposure only — validate the installed product, exact version, configuration and vendor applicability before treating an asset as confirmed vulnerable.

Evidence confidence: Limited Evidence-derived, not an exploitability verdict

Technical explanation & impact

The technical mechanism is not expanded beyond the source description unless a referenced advisory supplies additional evidence. Read the linked vendor/CERT advisories for root-cause detail.

Potential impact must be interpreted from the published CVSS impact metrics and the affected component. A CVSS impact score is not proof that a particular asset is exploitable.

Affected products and versions

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.

Remediation & validation

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
  3. Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
  4. Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
