From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

USB: misc: uss720: unregister parport on probe failure

uss720_probe() registers a parport before reading the 1284 register used
to detect unsupported Belkin F5U002 adapters. If get_1284_register()
fails, the error path drops the driver private data and the USB device
reference, but leaves the parport device registered.

Leaving the port registered is more than a private allocation leak:
parport_register_port() has already reserved a parport number and
registered the parport bus device, while pp->private_data still points at
the private data that the common error path is about to release.

Undo the pre-announce registration in the get_1284_register() failure
branch before jumping to the common private-data cleanup path. Clear
priv->pp first, matching the disconnect path and avoiding a stale pointer
in the private data.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64338 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
