CVE-2026-31756 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc2: gadget: Fix spin_lock/unlock mismatch in dwc2_hsotg_udc_stop() dwc2_gadget_exit_clock_gating() internally calls call_gadget() macro, which expects hsotg->lock to be held since it does spin_unlock/spin_lock around the gadget driver callback invocation. However, dwc2_hsotg_udc_stop() calls dwc2_gadget_exit_clock_gating() without holding the lock. This leads to: - spin_unlock on a lock that is not held (undefined behavior) - The lock remaining held after dwc2_gadget_exit_clock_gating() returns, causing a deadlock when spin_lock_irqsave() is called later in the same function. Fix this by acquiring hsotg->lock before calling dwc2_gadget_exit_clock_gating() and releasing it afterwards, which satisfies the locking requirement of the call_gadget() macro.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's USB DWC2 gadget driver has been addressed. The issue arose from a spin lock and unlock mismatch in the function `dwc2_hsotg_udc_stop()`. This function called `dwc2_gadget_exit_clock_gating()` without holding the necessary lock, leading to undefined behavior by unlocking a lock that was not held and causing a deadlock when `spin_lock_irqsave()` was called later in the function. The vulnerability affected several versions of the Linux kernel.
The vulnerability has been fixed by modifying the `dwc2_hsotg_udc_stop()` function to acquire the necessary lock before calling `dwc2_gadget_exit_clock_gating()` and to release it afterwards. Users should update to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this fix has been applied.
