Como parte de el commit e81a7018d93a (\"usb: dwc3: asignar estructura de gadget din\u00e1micamente\"), se agreg\u00f3 dwc3_gadget_release() que libere la estructura dwc->gadget al retirar el dispositivo cuando se llama a usb_del_gadget_udc() en dwc3_gadget_exit(). Sin embargo, simplemente liberar el gadget da como resultado una situaci\u00f3n de puntero colgante: los puntos finales creados en dwc3_gadget_init_endpoints() tienen sus miembros dep->endpoint.ep_list encadenados fuera del list_head anclado en dwc->gadget->ep_list. Por lo tanto, cuando se libera dwc->gadget, el primer dwc3_ep de la lista ahora tiene un puntero anterior colgante y lo mismo ocurre con el siguiente puntero de dwc3_ep al final de la lista. El dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints() que sigue dar\u00e1 como resultado un use-after-free cuando llame a list_del(). Esto se detect\u00f3 habilitando KASAN y realizando una desvinculaci\u00f3n del controlador. La reciente confirmaci\u00f3n 568262bf5492 (\"usb: dwc3: core: Add Shutdown Callback for dwc3\") tambi\u00e9n expone esto como un p\u00e1nico durante el apagado. Hay algunas posibilidades para solucionar este problema. Una podr\u00eda ser realizar un list_del() del propio gadget->ep_list que lo elimine del resto de la cadena dwc3_ep. Otro enfoque es lo que hace este parche, al dividir la llamada usb_del_gadget_udc() en sus componentes separados \"del\" y \"put\". Esto permite llamar a dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints() antes de que el gadget se libere finalmente con usb_put_gadget()."}], "id": "CVE-2021-46986", "lastModified": "2026-06-17T04:16:05.083", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}], "ssvcV203": [{"source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "ssvcData": {"id": "CVE-2021-46986", "options": [{"exploitation": "none"}, {"automatable": "no"}, {"technicalImpact": "partial"}], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "timestamp": "2024-09-10T16:01:05.321895Z", "version": "2.0.3"}}]}, "published": "2024-02-28T09:15:37.540", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1ea775021282d90e1d08d696b7ab54aa75d688e5"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b4b8e9601d7ee8806d2687f081a42485d27674a1"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb9c74a5bd1462499fe5ccb1e3c5ac40dcfa9139"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc0cdd72493236fb72b390ad38ce581e353c143c"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1ea775021282d90e1d08d696b7ab54aa75d688e5"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b4b8e9601d7ee8806d2687f081a42485d27674a1"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb9c74a5bd1462499fe5ccb1e3c5ac40dcfa9139"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc0cdd72493236fb72b390ad38ce581e353c143c"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Analyzed", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-416"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}

Thus when dwc->gadget is freed,\nthe first dwc3_ep in the list now has a dangling prev pointer and\nlikewise for the next pointer of the dwc3_ep at the tail of the list.\nThe dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints() that follows will result in a\nuse-after-free when it calls list_del().\nThis was caught by enabling KASAN and performing a driver unbind.\nThe recent commit 568262bf5492 (\"usb: dwc3: core: Add shutdown\ncallback for dwc3\") also exposes this as a panic during shutdown.\nThere are a few possibilities to fix this. One could be to perform\na list_del() of the gadget->ep_list itself which removes it from\nthe rest of the dwc3_ep chain.\nAnother approach is what this patch does, by splitting up the\nusb_del_gadget_udc() call into its separate \"del\" and \"put\"\ncomponents.
