Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: midi2: Fix null-pointer dereference in f_midi2_free_ep_reqs
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 09:04:54 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cafe65f4-e1bb-46a3-901d-732814b861b2@mail.kernel.org> (raw)
From: Aleksandr Nogikh <nogikh@google.com>
A null-pointer dereference occurs in f_midi2_free_ep_reqs() when attempting
to clean up an endpoint that was never initialized.
When configuring the MIDI 2.0 gadget via configfs and setting the block
direction to SNDRV_UMP_DIR_INPUT, the initialization of the midi1_ep_out
endpoint is explicitly skipped during the gadget bind phase
(f_midi2_bind()). As a result, the usb_ep->card field remains NULL.
Later, when the host sets the alternate setting, f_midi2_set_alt()
unconditionally stops both the IN and OUT endpoints by calling
f_midi2_stop_eps(), which in turn calls f_midi2_free_ep_reqs() for both
endpoints. When f_midi2_free_ep_reqs() is called for the uninitialized
midi1_ep_out, it attempts to dereference usb_ep->card to determine the
number of requests to free, leading to a crash.
Fix this by using usb_ep->num_reqs instead of usb_ep->card->info.num_reqs
in f_midi2_free_ep_reqs(). usb_ep->num_reqs is correctly set during
f_midi2_init_ep() and remains 0 if the endpoint was never initialized,
safely avoiding the loop. For consistency, apply the same change to
f_midi2_alloc_ep_reqs().
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
