GHSA-X846-472J-JJ99
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-25 12:31 – Updated: 2026-07-25 12:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbip: vudc: fix NULL deref in vep_dequeue()
vep_alloc_request() wasn't initializing vrequest->udc, so cancellations on the FunctionFS AIO path were arriving in vep_dequeue without a valid UDC reference.
Since vrequest->udc is never actually properly used anywhere, we opt to remove it, and update vep_dequeue to obtain a reference to the udc with ep_to_vudc(), consistent with the other vep_ ops.
AFAICT this bug has existed for ~10 years. Seems that nobody has really stressed the FunctionFS AIO path on usbip's vudc.
I tested this fix in a QEMU aarch64 guest driving FunctionFS endpoints
via AIO. Before the fix, running usbip attach from the host would
cause the guest to oops with the following backtrace:
