usb: gadget: uvc: fix NULL pointer dereference during unbind race
Commit b81ac4395bbe ("usb: gadget: uvc: allow for application to cleanly
shutdown") introduced two stages of synchronization waits totaling 1500ms
in uvc_function_unbind() to prevent several types of kernel panics.
However, this timing-based approach is insufficient during power
management (PM) transitions.
When the PM subsystem starts freezing user space processes, the
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() is aborted early, which allows the
unbind thread to proceed and nullify the gadget pointer
(cdev->gadget = NULL):
[ 814.123447][ T947] configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: uvc: uvc_function_unbind()
[ 814.178583][ T3173] PM: suspend entry (deep)

[ 814.197668][ T947] configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: uvc: uvc_function_unbind no clean disconnect, wait for release
When the PM subsystem resumes or aborts the suspend and tasks are
restarted, the V4L2 release path is executed and attempts to access the
already nullified gadget pointer, triggering a kernel panic:

Address the race condition and NULL pointer dereference by:
1. State Synchronization (flag + mutex)
Introduce a 'func_unbound' flag in struct uvc_device. This allows
uvc_function_disconnect() to safely skip accessing the nullified
cdev->gadget pointer. As suggested by Alan Stern, this flag is protected
by a new mutex (uvc->lock) to ensure proper memory ordering and prevent
instruction reordering or speculative loads. This mutex is also used to
protect 'func_connected' for consistent state management.
2. Explicit Synchronization (completion)
Use a completion to synchronize uvc_function_unbind() with the
uvc_vdev_release() callback. This prevents Use-After-Free (UAF) by
ensuring struct uvc_device is freed after all video device resources
are released. |
| Tor before 0.4.9.7 has a NULL pointer dereference when a CERT cell is received out of order, aka TROVE-2026-006. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/mc: Fix error path ordering in edac_mc_alloc()
When the mci->pvt_info allocation in edac_mc_alloc() fails, the error path
will call put_device() which will end up calling the device's release
function.
However, the init ordering is wrong such that device_initialize() happens
*after* the failed allocation and thus the device itself and the release
function pointer are not initialized yet when they're called:
MCE: In-kernel MCE decoding enabled.
------------[ cut here ]------------
kobject: '(null)': is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called.

Reorder the calling sequence so that the device is initialized and thus the
release function pointer is properly set before it can be used.

| Crash in sharkd 4.6.0 to 4.6.4 and 4.4.0 to 4.4.14 allows denial of service |
| A flaw was found in FFmpeg’s ALS audio decoder, where it does not properly check for memory allocation failures. This can cause the application to crash when processing certain malformed audio files. While it does not lead to data theft or system control, it can be used to disrupt services and cause a denial of service. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr in repeat_call_fn
damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn() calls damon_sysfs_upd_tuned_intervals(),
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_stats(), and
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_effective_quotas() without checking contexts->nr.
If nr_contexts is set to 0 via sysfs while DAMON is running, these
functions dereference contexts_arr[0] and cause a NULL pointer
dereference. Add the missing check.
For example, the issue can be reproduced using DAMON sysfs interface and
DAMON user-space tool (damo) [1] like below.
$ sudo damo start --refresh_interval 1s
$ echo 0 | sudo tee \
/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts |
| A NULL pointer dereference in mod_dav_lock in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.66 and earlier may allow an attacker to crash the server with a malicious request.mod_dav_lock is not used internally by mod_dav or mod_dav_fs.
The only known use-case for mod_dav_lock was mod_dav_svn from Apache Subversion earlier than version 1.2.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.66, which fixes this issue, or remove mod_dav_lock. |
| mutt before 2.3.2 has a show_sig_summary NULL pointer dereference. |
| IEEE 802.11 protocol dissector crash in Wireshark 4.6.0 to 4.6.4 |
| A NULL pointer dereference in the mod_authn_socache in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.66 and earlier allows an unauthenticated remote user to crash a child process in a caching forward proxy configuration.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.67, which fixes this issue. |
| NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in ASR1903 in ASR Lapwing_Linux on Linux (ims_client modules) allows Pointer Manipulation.
This vulnerability is associated with program files sip/utils/src/sipuri.c. |
| A null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the RTSP service of the MERCURY MIPC252W 1.0.5 Build 230306 Rel.79931n. During the processing of a SETUP request for the path rtsp://<IP>:554/stream1/track2, the device fails to properly validate the Transport header field. When this header is improperly constructed, the RTSP service can dereference a NULL pointer during request parsing. Successful exploitation causes the device to crash and automatically reboot. |
| An issue in Assimp v.6.0.2 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the FBXMeshGeometry.cpp, MeshGeometry::MeshGeometry() |
| An issue was discovered in VrmlData_IndexedFaceSet::TShape in the VRML V2.0 parser in Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) V8_0_0_rc5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted VRML file. The issue occurs because malformed VRML input can trigger dereference of a corrupt or unvalidated pointer during shape construction in libTKDEVRML.so. |

| On a system exposing an NVMe/TCP target, a remote client can trigger a kernel panic by sending a CONNECT command for an I/O queue with a bogus or stale CNTLID.
An attacker with network access to the NVMe/TCP target can trigger an unauthenticated Denial of Service condition on the affected machine. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: processor: Fix previous acpi_processor_errata_piix4() fix
After commi f132e089fe89 ("ACPI: processor: Fix NULL-pointer dereference
in acpi_processor_errata_piix4()"), device pointers may be dereferenced
after dropping references to the device objects pointed to by them,
which may cause a use-after-free to occur.
Moreover, debug messages about enabling the errata may be printed
if the errata flags corresponding to them are unset.
Address all of these issues by moving message printing to the points
in the code where the errata flags are set. |
