Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: ep0: fix NULL pointer exception There is no validation of the index from dwc3_wIndex_to_dep() and we might
be referring a non-existing ep and trigger a NULL pointer exception. In
certain configurations we might use fewer eps and the index might wrongly
indicate a larger ep index than existing. By adding this validation from the patch we can actually report a wrong
index back to the caller. In our usecase we are using a composite device on an older kernel, but
upstream might use this fix also. Unfortunately, I cannot describe the
hardware for others to reproduce the issue as it is a proprietary
implementation. [ 82.958261] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000a4

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: usb: dwc3: ep0: corrige excepción de puntero NULL. No hay validación del índice desde dwc3_wIndex_to_dep() y podríamos estar haciendo referencia a un ep inexistente y desencadenar una excepción de puntero NULL. En ciertas configuraciones, podríamos usar menos eps y el índice podría indicar erróneamente un índice ep mayor que el existente. Al agregar esta validación del parche, podemos informar un índice incorrecto a la persona que llama. En nuestro caso de uso, estamos usando un dispositivo compuesto en un kernel más antiguo, pero el nivel superior también podría usar esta solución. Desafortunadamente, no puedo describir el hardware para que otros reproduzcan el problema ya que es una implementación propietaria.
