      <title>CVE-2025-68288 — usb: storage: Fix memory leak in USB bulk transport</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-68288</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;usb: storage: Fix memory leak in USB bulk transport&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A kernel memory leak was identified by the &amp;#39;ioctl_sg01&amp;#39; test from Linux
Test Project (LTP). The following bytes were mainly observed: 0x53425355.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When USB storage devices incorrectly skip the data phase with status data,
the code extracts/validates the CSW from the sg buffer, but fails to clear
it afterwards. This leaves status protocol data in srb&amp;#39;s transfer buffer,
such as the US_BULK_CS_SIGN &amp;#39;USBS&amp;#39; signature observed here. Thus, this can
lead to USB protocols leaks to user space through SCSI generic (/dev/sg*)
interfaces, such as the one seen here when the LTP test requested 512 KiB.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix the leak by zeroing the CSW data in srb&amp;#39;s transfer buffer immediately
after the validation of devices that skip data phase.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: Differently from CVE-2018-1000204, which fixed a big leak by zero-
ing pages at allocation time, this leak occurs after allocation, when USB
protocol data is written to already-allocated sg pages.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
