Description

usb: ulpi: Fix debugfs directory leak

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

usb: ulpi: Fix debugfs directory leak

The ULPI per-device debugfs root is named after the ulpi device's

parent, but ulpi_unregister_interface tries to remove a debugfs

directory named after the ulpi device itself. This results in the

directory sticking around and preventing subsequent (deferred) probes

from succeeding. Change the directory name to match the ulpi device.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.
