If the concurrent acm_disconnect() then\nfrees those URBs and their DMA buffers while they are in-flight, the\nresult is a use-after-free in acm_ctrl_irq() or acm_read_bulk_callback()\naccessing the freed DMA memory.\n\nFix by checking acm->disconnected after draining the delayed anchor and\nreturning early: if we are in a disconnect path the URBs must remain\npoisoned and must not be resubmitted.\n\nThe early return is placed after the delayed-anchor drain loop because\nthat loop only cancels write-side accounting (wb->use = false and\nautopm counter) and does not touch the hardware path." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "603d5a7110832e10165d21f9a1486399457177de", "lessThan": "9742905d9ed5bf23ebe4c100dec80b6bc50fb522", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5d29d7ff8679e5a525f22da467ba33c042e8029b", "lessThan": "a0ed07b5bbb2d8fcef86810453216070691816e7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "f58752ebcb35e156c85cd1a82d6579c7af3b9023", "lessThan": "420ca35af891d33522cc08504768ccd60a4c450a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "f58752ebcb35e156c85cd1a82d6579c7af3b9023", "lessThan": "dc614d6bc991740d41d5a99ac7765c4b675dda88", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "d826061aa64cb28089bf4c73e301dd7928662b84", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "8fb82e3555a7d56a05d8ef0edee9859f889c0860", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "283f8162cc3c82086537cbc7dc01870dbeb07a91", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "f77f10bc76c2da86b4248269472f6d971e37828b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "6.12.83", "lessThan": "6.12.113", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.24", "lessThan": "6.18.56", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.175", "lessThan": "6.2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.136", "lessThan": "6.7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.14", "lessThan": "6.20", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0.1", "lessThan": "7.1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "7.1", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "7.1", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.113", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.56", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.10", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.83", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.113" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.18.24", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.56" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.1", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.10" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.1", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1.175" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.136" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19.14" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.0.1" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9742905d9ed5bf23ebe4c100dec80b6bc50fb522" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a0ed07b5bbb2d8fcef86810453216070691816e7" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/420ca35af891d33522cc08504768ccd60a4c450a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dc614d6bc991740d41d5a99ac7765c4b675dda88" } ], "title": "USB: cdc-acm: skip URB restart in port_shutdown if disconnected", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
