CVE-2025-68657 Details
Description
Espressif ESP-IDF USB Host HID (Human Interface Device) Driver allows access to HID devices. Prior to 1.1.0, calls to hid_host_device_close() can free the same usb_transfer_t twice. The USB event callback and user code share the hid_iface_t state without locking, so both can tear down a READY interface simultaneously, corrupting heap metadata inside the ESP USB host stack. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.1.0.
A double-free vulnerability has been identified in the Espressif USB Host HID Driver, prior to version 1.1.0. This issue arises when concurrent calls to 'hid_host_device_close()' free the same 'usb_transfer_t' object twice. The vulnerability is exacerbated by a lack of proper locking, allowing both the USB event callback and user code to simultaneously dismantle a READY interface. This race condition can corrupt heap metadata within the ESP USB host stack, potentially leading to a crash or manipulation of memory management.
Users can upgrade to Espressif USB Host HID Driver version 1.1.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
