CVE-2023-22999
In the Linux kernel before 5.16.3, drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c misinterprets the dwc3_qcom_create_urs_usb_platdev return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is actually an error pointer).

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.26%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
