Subject: [PATCH 5.10 43/43] usb: usbfs: fix use-after-free of usb_device in usbdev_release()
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:35:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831133400.804733282@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831133358.571886287@linuxfoundation.org>
5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Miguel Peñaranda <mig.penaranda07@gmail.com>
commit 0dd68b5d01d022fc9c5e71c82a82b0a94d3d0671 upstream.
usbdev_release() drops its reference to the struct usb_device before
draining the list of completed async URBs, but that drain path reads back
through the same object: free_async() calls dec_usb_memory_use_count()
for any URB whose buffer came from the usbfs mmap() region, and its first
statement is bus_to_hcd(ps->dev->bus).
After a disconnect the usbfs reference can be the last one, in which case
usb_put_dev() frees the device and the subsequent loop reads offset 80 of
freed memory and uses the result as a struct usb_hcd *, which
hcd_buffer_free_pages() then dereferences.
This is reachable by an unprivileged process that has read/write access to
a /dev/bus/usb node: mmap() the fd, submit one URB with a buffer inside the
mapping, wait for the device to be unplugged, then munmap() and close().
It reproduces on every attempt rather than being a race, because a live
MAP_SHARED vma holds a reference on the struct file, so usbdev_release()
cannot run until the last vma is gone and the freeing branch of
dec_usb_memory_use_count() is always taken.

Release the device reference after the drain loop instead. Nothing between
the two points requires it to have been dropped.
