Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: u_serial: Disable ep before setting port to null to fix the crash caused by port being null

Considering that in some extreme cases, when performing the
unbinding operation, gserial_disconnect has cleared gser->ioport,
which triggers gadget reconfiguration, and then calls gs_read_complete,
resulting in access to a null pointer. Therefore, ep is disabled before
gserial_disconnect sets port to null to prevent this from happening.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
