AI-suggested
An official patch is available and should be applied to affected linux-aws kernel versions. The patch changes IRQ handling to explicitly free IRQs and cancel delayed work before device teardown, preventing use-after-free conditions. Users should update their systems to the fixed kernel versions as provided by their vendor. No additional mitigations are specified or required.
Description
A use-after-free and null pointer dereference vulnerability in the Broadcom BDC USB gadget driver in the Linux kernel was resolved. The issue arises because the IRQ handler and delayed work are not properly freed or cancelled before device teardown, leading to potential memory corruption when interrupts or delayed work access freed memory. This vulnerability affects specific linux-aws kernel versions and has a CVSS score of 7.8. A patch is available that changes IRQ handling to prevent this unsafe access.
