Usb core calls usb_ep0_reinit() in this case,\nwhich ends up calling xhci_configure_endpoint().\n\nOn Panther point xHC the xhci_configure_endpoint() function will\nadditionally check and reserve bandwidth in software. Other hosts do\nthis in hardware\n\nIf xHC address device command fails then a new xhci_virt_device structure\nis allocated as part of re-enabling the slot, but the bandwidth table\npointers are not set up properly here.\nThis triggers the NULL pointer dereference the next time usb_ep0_reinit()\nis called and xhci_configure_endpoint() tries to check and reserve\nbandwidth\n\n[46710.713538] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd\n[46710.713699] usb 3-1: Device not responding to setup address.\n[46710.917684] usb 3-1: Device not responding to setup address.\n[46711.125536] usb 3-1: device not accepting address 5, error -71\n[46711.125594] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008\n[46711.125600] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode\n[46711.125603] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page\n[46711.125606] PGD 0 P4D 0\n[46711.125610] Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI\n[46711.125615] CPU: 1 PID: 25760 Comm: kworker/1:2 Not tainted 6.10.3_2 #1\n[46711.125620] Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.\n[46711.125623] Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event [usbcore]\n[46711.125668] RIP: 0010:xhci_reserve_bandwidth (drivers/usb/host/xhci.c\n\nFix this by making sure bandwidth table pointers are set up correctly\nafter a failed address device command, and additionally by avoiding\nchecking for bandwidth in cases like this where no actual endpoints are\nadded or removed, i.e. only context for default control endpoint 0 is\nevaluated.","published":"2024-09-04T20:15:09.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T07:53:24.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-476"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00253,"percentile":0.16618,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.25%).
