CVE-2026-68367: usb: gadget: f_tcm: synchronize delayed set_alt with teardown

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

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

usb: gadget: f_tcm: synchronize delayed set_alt with teardown

The f_tcm set_alt() path defers endpoint setup to a work item and
completes the delayed status response from process context. The delayed
work uses f_tcm private state and may complete the setup request after
disconnect or function teardown has already moved on.

Cancel and drain the delayed set_alt work when the function is unbound or
freed. For disable paths, which are reached under the composite device
lock, use a small state machine and a non-sleeping cancellation path
instead of cancel_work_sync(). If the work is already running, mark it
cancelled and let the worker own the cleanup; otherwise tcm_disable() can
cancel the queued work and clean up immediately.

Also serialize the final delayed-status completion with the cancellation
check while holding the composite device lock. This prevents a disconnect
from clearing delayed_status while the worker is about to complete the
control request.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
