Overview

CVE-2026-89735 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 11, 2026.

Technical description

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

usb: gadget: midi2: remove default configfs groups on teardown

f_midi2_alloc_inst() creates default configfs child groups for the

default endpoint and default block using configfs_add_default_group(),

setting their internal refcount to 1.

However, during function teardown in f_midi2_free_inst() or EP cleanup

in f_midi2_ep_opts_release(), configfs_remove_default_groups() is

never called, therefore never dropping the refcount and leaking struct

f_midi2_ep_opts and f_midi2_block_opts.

Add the missing configfs_remove_default_groups() in the afformentioned

functions to free the structs properly.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89735?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89735 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
