If the concurrent acm_disconnect() then\nfrees those URBs and their DMA buffers while they are in-flight, the\nresult is a use-after-free in acm_ctrl_irq() or acm_read_bulk_callback()\naccessing the freed DMA memory.\n\nFix by checking acm->disconnected after draining the delayed anchor and\nreturning early: if we are in a disconnect path the URBs must remain\npoisoned and must not be resubmitted.\n\nThe early return is placed after the delayed-anchor drain loop because\nthat loop only cancels write-side accounting (wb->use = false and\nautopm counter) and does not touch the hardware path."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c"],"versions":[{"version":"d826061aa64cb28089bf4c73e301dd7928662b84","lessThan":"d97da42e9de577dc827d4e8866e6971deefe2d9c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8fb82e3555a7d56a05d8ef0edee9859f889c0860","lessThan":"d86775e79838d7d2e38ccf506a7d0f8e2dd4d5d0","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"603d5a7110832e10165d21f9a1486399457177de","lessThan":"9742905d9ed5bf23ebe4c100dec80b6bc50fb522","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5d29d7ff8679e5a525f22da467ba33c042e8029b","lessThan":"a0ed07b5bbb2d8fcef86810453216070691816e7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f58752ebcb35e156c85cd1a82d6579c7af3b9023","lessThan":"420ca35af891d33522cc08504768ccd60a4c450a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f58752ebcb35e156c85cd1a82d6579c7af3b9023","lessThan":"dc614d6bc991740d41d5a99ac7765c4b675dda88","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"283f8162cc3c82086537cbc7dc01870dbeb07a91","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f77f10bc76c2da86b4248269472f6d971e37828b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6.1.175","lessThan":"6.1.191","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.136","lessThan":"6.6.160","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.83","lessThan":"6.12.113","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.24","lessThan":"6.18.56","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.19.14","lessThan":"6.20","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.1","lessThan":"7.1","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c"],"versions":[{"version":"7.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"7.1","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.191","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.160","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.113","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.56","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.10","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.1.175","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.191"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.6.136","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.160"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12.83","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.113"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18.24","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.56"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.1","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.10"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.1","versionEndExcluding":"7.3"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.19.14"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.0.1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d97da42e9de577dc827d4e8866e6971deefe2d9c"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d86775e79838d7d2e38ccf506a7d0f8e2dd4d5d0"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9742905d9ed5bf23ebe4c100dec80b6bc50fb522"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a0ed07b5bbb2d8fcef86810453216070691816e7"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/420ca35af891d33522cc08504768ccd60a4c450a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dc614d6bc991740d41d5a99ac7765c4b675dda88"}],"title":"USB:
