Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: Fix use-after-free during usb config switch
In the process of switching USB config from rndis to other config,
if the hardware does not support the ->pullup callback, or the
hardware encounters a low probability fault, both of them may cause
the ->pullup callback to fail, which will then cause a system panic
(use after free).
The gadget drivers sometimes need to be unloaded regardless of the
hardware's behavior.
Analysis as follows:
=======================================================================
(1) write /config/usb_gadget/g1/UDC "none"
gether_disconnect+0x2c/0x1f8
rndis_disable+0x4c/0x74
composite_disconnect+0x74/0xb0
configfs_composite_disconnect+0x60/0x7c
usb_gadget_disconnect+0x70/0x124
usb_gadget_unregister_driver+0xc8/0x1d8
gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store+0xec/0x1e4
(2) rm /config/usb_gadget/g1/configs/b.1/f1
rndis_deregister+0x28/0x54
rndis_free+0x44/0x7c
usb_put_function+0x14/0x1c
config_usb_cfg_unlink+0xc4/0xe0
configfs_unlink+0x124/0x1c8
vfs_unlink+0x114/0x1dc
(3) rmdir /config/usb_gadget/g1/functions/rndis.gs4
panic+0x1fc/0x3d0
do_page_fault+0xa8/0x46c
do_mem_abort+0x3c/0xac
el1_sync_handler+0x40/0x78
0xffffff801138f880
rndis_close+0x28/0x34
eth_stop+0x74/0x110
dev_close_many+0x48/0x194
rollback_registered_many+0x118/0x814
unregister_netdev+0x20/0x30
gether_cleanup+0x1c/0x38
rndis_attr_release+0xc/0x14
kref_put+0x74/0xb8
configfs_rmdir+0x314/0x374
If gadget->ops->pullup() return an error, function rndis_close() will be
called, then it will causes a use-after-free problem.
