CVE-2026-64464

xhci: sideband: fix ring sg table pages leak

Published Jul 25, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xhci: sideband: fix ring sg table pages leak

xhci_ring_to_sgtable() allocates a temporary pages array and
uses it to build the returned sg_table with
sg_alloc_table_from_pages().

The error paths free the pages array, but the success path
returns the sg_table without freeing it. This leaks the temporary
array every time a sideband client gets an endpoint or event ring
buffer.

Free the pages array after sg_alloc_table_from_pages() succeeds.
The returned sg_table has its own scatterlist entries and does not
depend on the temporary array after construction.
