In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: udc: Fix use-after-free in gadget_match_driver
The udc structure acts as the management structure for the gadget,
but their lifecycles are decoupled. A race condition exists where
usb_del_gadget() frees the udc memory (e.g., via mode-switch work)
while gadget_match_driver() concurrently accesses the freed udc memory
(e.g., via configfs), causing a Use-After-Free (UAF) that triggers a
NULL pointer dereference when the freed memory is zeroed:

Fix this by ensuring the udc structure remains allocated until the
gadget is released. To achieve this, introduce a new
usb_gadget_release() routine to the core. When the gadget is added,
usb_add_gadget() stores the gadget's release routine in the udc
structure and takes a reference to the udc. When the gadget is
released, usb_gadget_release() drops the reference to the udc and
then calls the gadget's release routine. |
