CVE-2022-49306 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: host: Stop setting the ACPI companion It is no longer needed. The sysdev pointer is now used when assigning the ACPI companions to the xHCI ports and USB devices. Assigning the ACPI companion here resulted in the fwnode->secondary pointer to be replaced also for the parent dwc3 device since the primary fwnode (the ACPI companion) was shared. That was unintentional and it created potential side effects like resource leaks.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's DWC3 USB host controller implementation has been addressed. The issue arose from the unnecessary assignment of ACPI companions to xHCI ports and USB devices, which inadvertently replaced the secondary pointer of the firmware node for the parent DWC3 device. This unintentional sharing of the primary firmware node created potential side effects, such as resource leaks. The vulnerability has been resolved by stopping the ACPI companion assignment, as it is no longer needed.
