Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-08-21 09:31 – Updated: 2024-09-06 15:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadgetfs: Fix race between mounting and unmounting
The syzbot fuzzer and Gerald Lee have identified a use-after-free bug in the gadgetfs driver, involving processes concurrently mounting and unmounting the gadgetfs filesystem. In particular, gadgetfs_fill_super() can race with gadgetfs_kill_sb(), causing the latter to deallocate the_device while the former is using it. The output from KASAN says, in part:

The simplest solution is to ensure that gadgetfs_fill_super() and gadgetfs_kill_sb() are serialized by making them both acquire a new mutex.
