As far as I can tell, there's no reason for the mutex to be\nheld while the gadget core calls a gadget driver's ->bind or ->unbind\nroutine, or while a UDC is being started or stopped. (This accounts\nfor link #1 in the chain above, where the mutex is held while the\ndwc2_hsotg_udc is started as part of driver probing.)\n\nGadget drivers' ->disconnect callbacks are problematic. Even though\nusb_gadget_disconnect() will now acquire the udc_mutex, there's a\nwindow in usb_gadget_bind_driver() between the times when the mutex is\nreleased and the ->bind callback is invoked. If a disconnect occurred\nduring that window, we could call the driver's ->disconnect routine\nbefore its ->bind routine. To prevent this from happening, it will be\nnecessary to prevent a UDC from connecting while it has no gadget\ndriver. This should be done already but it doesn't seem to be;\ncurrently usb_gadget_connect() has no check for this. Such a check\nwill have to be added later.\n\nSome degree of mutual exclusion is required in soft_connect_store(),\nwhich can dereference udc->driver at arbitrary times since it is a\nsysfs callback. The solution here is to acquire the gadget's device\nlock rather than the udc_mutex. Since the driver core guarantees that\nthe device lock is always held during driver binding and unbinding,\nthis will make the accesses in soft_connect_store() mutually exclusive\nwith any changes to udc->driver.\n\nLastly, it turns out there is one place which should hold the\nudc_mutex but currently does not: The function_show() routine needs\nprotection while it dereferences udc->driver. The missing lock and\nunlock calls are added."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: USB: gadget: Se corrige una oscura violaci\u00f3n de lockdep para udc_mutex.

El mutex solo protege udc->driver, entre otras cosas. Hasta donde s\u00e9, no hay raz\u00f3n para que el mutex se mantenga mientras el n\u00facleo del gadget llama a la rutina ->bind o ->unbind de un controlador de gadget, ni mientras se inicia o detiene un UDC. (Esto explica el enlace n.\u00ba 1 de la cadena anterior, donde el mutex se mantiene mientras se inicia dwc2_hsotg_udc como parte del sondeo del controlador). Las devoluciones de llamada ->disconnect de los controladores de gadget son problem\u00e1ticas. Aunque usb_gadget_disconnect() ahora adquirir\u00e1 el udc_mutex, existe un margen en usb_gadget_bind_driver() entre el momento en que se libera el mutex y se invoca la devolucion de llamada ->bind. Si se produjera una desconexi\u00f3n durante ese margen, podr\u00edamos llamar a la rutina ->disconnect del controlador antes que a su rutina ->bind. Para evitarlo, ser\u00e1 necesario impedir que un UDC se conecte mientras no tenga un controlador de gadget. Esto ya deber\u00eda estar hecho, pero no parece estarlo; actualmente, usb_gadget_connect() no lo comprueba. Esta comprobaci\u00f3n deber\u00e1 a\u00f1adirse m\u00e1s adelante. Se requiere cierto grado de exclusi\u00f3n mutua en soft_connect_store(), que puede desreferenciar udc->driver en cualquier momento, ya que es una devoluci\u00f3n de llamada de sysfs. La soluci\u00f3n es adquirir el bloqueo del dispositivo del gadget en lugar del udc_mutex. Dado que el n\u00facleo del controlador garantiza que el bloqueo del dispositivo se mantenga siempre durante la vinculaci\u00f3n y desvinculaci\u00f3n del controlador, esto har\u00e1 que los accesos en soft_connect_store() sean mutuamente excluyentes con cualquier cambio en udc->driver. Por \u00faltimo, resulta que hay un lugar que deber\u00eda contener el udc_mutex, pero actualmente no lo hace: la rutina function_show() necesita protecci\u00f3n mientras desreferencia udc->driver. Se a\u00f1aden las llamadas de bloqueo y desbloqueo que faltan."}], "lastModified": "2025-11-14T19:41:15.223", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:5.19.7:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "069A4BEA-1457-4746-A2BA-084F2DC03253"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.0:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "E8BD11A3-8643-49B6-BADE-5029A0117325"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.0:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "5F0AD220-F6A9-4012-8636-155F1B841FAD"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.0:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "A46498B3-78E1-4623-AAE1-94D29A42BE4E"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
