Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-08-19 18:05:17 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget : fix use-after-free in composite_dev_cleanup()

1. In func configfs_composite_bind() -> composite_os_desc_req_prepare():
if kmalloc fails, the pointer cdev->os_desc_req will be freed but not
set to NULL. Then it will return a failure to the upper-level function.
2. in func configfs_composite_bind() -> composite_dev_cleanup():
it will checks whether cdev->os_desc_req is NULL. If it is not NULL, it
will attempt to use it.This will lead to a use-after-free issue.
