CVE-2026-43429
Beschrijving NL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: usbtmc: Use usb_bulk_msg_killable() with user-specified timeouts
The usbtmc driver accepts timeout values specified by the user in an
ioctl command, and uses these timeouts for some usb_bulk_msg() calls. Since the user can specify arbitrarily long timeouts and
usb_bulk_msg() uses unkillable waits, call usb_bulk_msg_killable()
instead to avoid the possibility of the user hanging a kernel thread
indefinitely.
