Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: cdns3: fix memory double free when handle zero packet

829 if (request->complete) {

830 spin_unlock(&priv_dev->lock);

831 usb_gadget_giveback_request(&priv_ep->endpoint,

832 request);

833 spin_lock(&priv_dev->lock);

834 }

835

836 if (request->buf == priv_dev->zlp_buf)

837 cdns3_gadget_ep_free_request(&priv_ep->endpoint, request);

Driver append an additional zero packet request when queue a packet, which

length mod max packet size is 0. When transfer complete, run to line 831,

usb_gadget_giveback_request() will free this requestion. 836 condition is

true, so cdns3_gadget_ep_free_request() free this request again.
