This occurs because _ep_nuke() returns\nrequests to the gadget layer without properly unmapping DMA buffers\nor cleaning up scatter-gather bounce buffers.\n\nRoot cause:\nWhen a disconnect happens during a multi-segment DMA transfer, the\nrequest's num_mapped_sgs field and sgt.sgl pointer remain set with\nstale values. The request is returned to the gadget driver with status\n-ESHUTDOWN but still has active DMA state. If the gadget driver reuses\nthis request on reconnect without reinitializing it, the stale DMA\nstate causes _hardware_enqueue() to skip DMA mapping (seeing non-zero\nnum_mapped_sgs) and attempt to use freed/invalid DMA addresses,\nleading to alignment errors and potential memory corruption.\n\nThe normal completion path via _hardware_dequeue() properly calls\nusb_gadget_unmap_request_by_dev() and sglist_do_debounce() before\nreturning the request. The _ep_nuke() path must do the same cleanup\nto ensure requests are returned in a clean, reusable state.\n\nFix:\nAdd DMA unmapping and bounce buffer cleanup to _ep_nuke() to mirror\nthe cleanup sequence in _hardware_dequeue():\n- Call usb_gadget_unmap_request_by_dev() if num_mapped_sgs is set\n- Call sglist_do_debounce() with copy=false if bounce buffer exists\n\nThis ensures that when requests are returned due to endpoint shutdown,\nthey don't retain stale DMA mappings. The 'false' parameter to\nsglist_do_debounce() prevents copying data back (appropriate for\nshutdown path where transfer was aborted).","published":"2026-05-06T12:16:46.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-21T13:18:53.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-787"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00163,"percentile":0.05486,"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":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.16%).
