5.5 MEDIUM — CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_hid: don't call cdev_init while cdev in use When calling unbind, then bind again, cdev_init reinitialized the cdev, even though there may still be references to it. That's the case when the /dev/hidg* device is still opened. This obviously unsafe behavior like oopes. This fixes this by using cdev_alloc to put the cdev on the heap. That way, we can simply allocate a new one in hidg_bind.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 3.19 < 6.12.83) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.24) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.14) • linux linux kernel (>= 7.0 < 7.0.1)
