Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (powerz) Fix use-after-free on USB disconnect
After powerz_disconnect() frees the URB and releases the mutex, a
subsequent powerz_read() call can acquire the mutex and call
powerz_read_data(), which dereferences the freed URB pointer.
Fix by:
- Setting priv->urb to NULL in powerz_disconnect() so that
powerz_read_data() can detect the disconnected state.
- Adding a !priv->urb check at the start of powerz_read_data()
to return -ENODEV on a disconnected device.
- Moving usb_set_intfdata() before hwmon registration so the
disconnect handler can always find the priv pointer.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (< 6.12.83)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.24)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.14)
