CVE-2023-54083 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phy: tegra: xusb: Clear the driver reference in usb-phy dev For the dual-role port, it will assign the phy dev to usb-phy dev and use the port dev driver as the dev driver of usb-phy. When we try to destroy the port dev, it will destroy its dev driver as well. But we did not remove the reference from usb-phy dev. This might cause the use-after-free issue in KASAN.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's USB PHY (physical layer) driver for Tegra XUSB. This issue arises in dual-role ports where the PHY device reference is not properly managed. When the port device is destroyed, its associated driver is also removed, but the reference in the USB PHY device remains. This oversight can lead to a use-after-free condition, which is detectable by the Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASAN).
Users can upgrade to the patched version of the Linux kernel available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
