In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xhci: Fix Panther point NULL pointer deref at full-speed re-enumeration
re-enumerating full-speed devices after a failed address device command
can trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
Full-speed devices may need to reconfigure the endpoint 0 Max Packet Size
value during enumeration. Usb core calls usb_ep0_reinit() in this case,
which ends up calling xhci_configure_endpoint().
On Panther point xHC the xhci_configure_endpoint() function will
additionally check and reserve bandwidth in software. Other hosts do
this in hardware
If xHC address device command fails then a new xhci_virt_device structure
is allocated as part of re-enabling the slot, but the bandwidth table
pointers are not set up properly here.
This triggers the NULL pointer dereference the next time usb_ep0_reinit()
is called and xhci_configure_endpoint() tries to check and reserve
bandwidth

Fix this by making sure bandwidth table pointers are set up correctly
after a failed address device command, and additionally by avoiding
checking for bandwidth in cases like this where no actual endpoints are
added or removed, i.e. only context for default control endpoint 0 is
evaluated.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, which involves a NULL pointer dereference in the xHCI driver during full-speed USB device enumeration. When a failed address device command occurs, the xhci_virt_device structure is allocated, but its bandwidth table pointers are not properly initialized. This issue leads to a NULL pointer dereference the next time usb_ep0_reinit() is called.
Отчет
This issue is classified as Moderate severity rather than Important because it specifically affects the handling of full-speed USB device enumeration under conditions where the address device command fails. The NULL pointer dereference occurs during the re-enumeration process and primarily impacts systems under specific failure scenarios. While it can lead to kernel crashes, the impact is limited to certain USB enumeration situations and does not affect the majority of typical device operations or the overall system stability.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
