UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21877: Low severity ubuntu/linux vulnerability

Q: What would an attacker need to exploit this issue?

They would need to present a specially manufactured USB device whose descriptors cause the gl620a driver to expect endpoints that the device does not actually provide. The issue is triggered during driver binding when endpoint availability is not properly checked.

Q: How can I tell whether a system has encountered the vulnerable condition?

Kernel logs may contain a usb_submit_urb() warning such as "BOGUS urb xfer, pipe 3 != type 1" associated with a gl620a USB device. The reported condition can occur when the device configuration descriptors are inconsistent with the endpoints present.

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel package families are listed as affected?

The listed package families are linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-fips, linux-aws-fips, linux-azure-fips, and linux-gcp-fips.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usbnet: gl620a: fix endpoint checking in genelinkbind() Syzbot reports [1] a warning in usbsubmiturb() triggered by inconsistencies between expected and actually present endpoints in gl620a driver. Since genelinkbind() does not properly verify whether specified eps are in fact provided by the device, in this case, an artificially manufactured one, one may get a mismatch. Fix the issue by resorting to a usbnet utility function usbnetgetendpoints(), usually reserved for this very problem. Check for endpoints and return early before proceeding further if any are missing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What would an attacker need to exploit this issue?

They would need to present a specially manufactured USB device whose descriptors cause the gl620a driver to expect endpoints that the device does not actually provide. The issue is triggered during driver binding when endpoint availability is not properly checked.

How can I tell whether a system has encountered the vulnerable condition?

Kernel logs may contain a usb_submit_urb() warning such as "BOGUS urb xfer, pipe 3 != type 1" associated with a gl620a USB device. The reported condition can occur when the device configuration descriptors are inconsistent with the endpoints present.

Which Ubuntu kernel package families are listed as affected?

The listed package families are linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-fips, linux-aws-fips, linux-azure-fips, and linux-gcp-fips.
