CVE-2026-64337
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB mtu3 gadget driver. When the mtu3_gadget_queue() function encounters a failure during the preparation of a USB transfer, the associated Direct Memory Access (DMA) mapping is not properly released. This leaves the DMA mapping active, which can lead to a resource leak. Repeated exploitation of this flaw could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service by exhausting system resources.

Technical Impact: DoS: Resource Consumption (Other); DoS: Resource Consumption (Memory); DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU)
An attacker that can influence the allocation of resources that are not properly released could deplete the available resource pool and prevent all other processes from accessing the same type of resource. Frequently-affected resources include memory, CPU, disk space, power or battery, etc.
