CVE-2024-58055: usb: gadget: f_tcm: Don't free command immediately

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_tcm: Don't free command immediately Don't prematurely free the command. Wait for the status completion of the sense status. It can be freed then. Otherwise we will double-free the command.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2024-58055 is a Linux kernel double-free bug in the USB gadget f_tcm component. A local low-privileged user may be able to trigger kernel memory corruption, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No provided source reports active exploitation.

Executive priority

Treat as high priority where affected Linux kernels support USB gadget mode, especially embedded, appliance, or physical-access environments. Prioritize patching, but do not assume internet-scale remote exposure from the supplied evidence.

Technical view

The flaw is CWE-415 in usb gadget f_tcm. The kernel freed a command before sense-status completion, then freed it again. The upstream fix delays freeing until status completion. CVSS 3.1 is 7.8: local attack, low complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, high CIA impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely on Linux systems running affected kernel versions where USB gadget f_tcm functionality is enabled or loadable. The bundle does not establish default exposure, distro breadth beyond cited Debian LTS advisories, or whether common server builds are affected.

Exploitation context

The CVE is not listed as KEV, and the supplied sources do not report exploitation in the wild. Attack vector is local with low privileges and no user interaction. Public sources provided do not include exploit details or proof of weaponization.

Researcher notes

Focus triage on kernel builds with f_tcm and target gadget support. The fix addresses command lifetime handling around sense status completion. Evidence supports local attack requirements and high potential impact, but not active exploitation or reliable exploit availability.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade to a vendor kernel containing the referenced stable fixes.
  • Apply Debian LTS kernel updates if running affected Debian packages.
  • Check your Linux distributor advisory for exact fixed package versions.
  • If patching is delayed, review vendor guidance for disabling unused USB gadget functionality.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Linux kernel versions across hosts and appliances.
  • Check whether USB gadget f_tcm support is built, loaded, or operationally required.
  • Map installed kernels against vendor fixed versions or referenced stable commits.
  • Confirm updated systems boot into the patched kernel, not an older installed kernel.
