Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-04-01 16:03:43 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: renesas_usbhs: Flush the notify_hotplug_work

When performing continuous unbind/bind operations on the USB drivers
available on the Renesas RZ/G2L SoC, a kernel crash with the message
"Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address"
may occur. This issue points to the usbhsc_notify_hotplug() function.

Flush the delayed work to avoid its execution when driver resources are
unavailable.
