Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: st: fix probed platform device ref count on probe error path
The probe function never performs any paltform device allocation, thus
error path "undo_platform_dev_alloc" is entirely bogus. It drops the
reference count from the platform device being probed. If error path is
triggered, this will lead to unbalanced device reference counts and
premature release of device resources, thus possible use-after-free when
releasing remaining devm-managed resources.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the USB DWC3 ST driver. This vulnerability arises from an error in how the driver handles device setup failures, leading to an incorrect count of device references. If a setup error occurs, resources might be released prematurely, creating a use-after-free condition. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit this to cause system instability or potentially gain elevated access.
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.
