UBUNTU-CVE-2024-56698: Null Pointer Dereference

Published Dec 28, 2024
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix looping of queued SG entries The dwc3request->numqueuedsgs is decremented on completion. If a partially completed request is handled, then the dwc3request->numqueuedsgs no longer reflects the total number of numqueuedsgs (it would be cleared). Correctly check the number of request SG entries remained to be prepare and queued. Failure to do this may cause null pointer dereference when accessing non-existent SG entry.

    In the DWC3 gadget request handling code, correctly track and check the number of scatter-gather (SG) entries remaining to be prepared and queued before accessing an SG entry; do not rely on dwc3_request->num_queued_sgs after a partially completed request because it is decremented on completion and may have been cleared.
