🛡️ CVE-2025-68287 on Debian — linux
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: Fix race condition between concurrent dwc3_remove_requests() call paths This patch addresses a race condition caused by unsynchronized execution of multiple call paths invoking dwc3_remove_requests(), leading to premature freeing of USB requests and subsequent crashes. Three distinct execution paths interact with dwc3_remove_requests(): Path 1: Triggered via dwc3_gadget_reset_interrupt() during USB reset handling. The call stack includes: - dwc3_ep0_reset_state() - dwc3_ep0_stall_and_restart() - dwc3_ep0_out_start() - dwc3_remove_requests() - dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request() Path 2: Also initiated from dwc3_gadget_reset_interrupt(), but through dwc3_stop_active_transfers(). The call stack includes: - dwc3_stop_active_transfers() - dwc3_remove_requests() - dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request() Path 3: Occurs independently during adb root execution, which triggers USB function unbind and bind operations. The sequence includes: - gserial_disconnect() - usb_ep_disable() - dwc3_gadget_ep_disable() - dwc3_remove_requests() with -ESHUTDOWN status Path 3 operates asynchronously and lacks synchronization with Paths 1 and 2. When Path 3 completes, it disables endpoints and frees 'out' requests. If Paths 1 or 2 are still processing these requests, accessing freed memory leads to a crash due to use-after-free conditions. To fix this added check for request completion and skip processing if already completed and added the request status for ep0 while queue.
