CVE-2023-53580
Publiée le 2025-10-04 · Dernière modification le 2026-08-04
Les systèmes Linux utilisant le pilote USB Gadget UVC sont susceptibles de subir un kernel panic (plantage du système) lors du processus de déconfiguration du pilote. Un attaquant disposant d'un accès utilisateur local peut déclencher cet interblocage pour provoquer un déni de service ou potentiellement compromettre l'intégrité et la confidentialité du système. Cette exploitation est relativement facile à exécuter et ne nécessite aucune interaction de l'utilisateur, bien qu'elle exige que l'attaquant possède déjà un compte authentifié sur la machine.
DÉTAIL DU VECTEUR CVSS
RÉFÉRENCES
Description officielle du NVD (en anglais)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: Gadget: core: Help prevent panic during UVC unconfigure Avichal Rakesh reported a kernel panic that occurred when the UVC gadget driver was removed from a gadget's configuration. The panic involves a somewhat complicated interaction between the kernel driver and a userspace component (as described in the Link tag below), but the analysis did make one thing clear: The Gadget core should accomodate gadget drivers calling usb_gadget_deactivate() as part of their unbind procedure. Currently this doesn't work. gadget_unbind_driver() calls driver->unbind() while holding the udc->connect_lock mutex, and usb_gadget_deactivate() attempts to acquire that mutex, which will result in a deadlock. The simple fix is for gadget_unbind_driver() to release the mutex when invoking the ->unbind() callback. There is no particular reason for it to be holding the mutex at that time, and the mutex isn't held while the ->bind() callback is invoked. So we'll drop the mutex before performing the unbind callback and reacquire it afterward. We'll also add a couple of comments to usb_gadget_activate() and usb_gadget_deactivate(). Because they run in process context they must not be called from a gadget driver's ->disconnect() callback, which (according to the kerneldoc for struct usb_gadget_driver in include/linux/usb/gadget.h) may run in interrupt context. This may help prevent similar bugs from arising in the future.
