CVE-2025-21776 MEDIUM

Published: 2025-02-27 | Last Modified: 2026-05-12 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: hub: Ignore non-compliant devices with too many configs or interfaces Robert Morris created a test program which can cause usb_hub_to_struct_hub() to dereference a NULL or inappropriate pointer: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xcccccccccccccccc: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC PTI CPU: 7 UID: 0 PID: 117 Comm: kworker/7:1 Not tainted 6.13.0-rc3-00017-gf44d154d6e3d #14 Hardware name: FreeBSD BHYVE/BHYVE, BIOS 14.0 10/17/2021 Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event RIP: 0010:usb_hub_adjust_deviceremovable+0x78/0x110 ...

We can prevent the problem from occurring by refusing to accept hub devices that violate the USB spec by having more than one configuration or interface.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: USB: hub: Ignorar dispositivos no compatibles con demasiadas configuraciones o interfaces Robert Morris creó un programa de prueba que puede hacer que usb_hub_to_struct_hub() desreferenciara un puntero NULL o inapropiado: Ups: error de protección general, probablemente para una dirección no canónica 0xcccccccccccccccc: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC PTI CPU: 7 UID: 0 PID: 117 Comm: kworker/7:1 No contaminado 6.13.0-rc3-00017-gf44d154d6e3d #14 Nombre del hardware: FreeBSD BHYVE/BHYVE, BIOS 14.0 17/10/2021 Cola de trabajo: usb_hub_wq hub_event RIP: 0010:usb_hub_adjust_deviceremovable+0x78/0x110 ...

Podemos evitar que se produzca el problema si nos negamos a aceptar dispositivos concentradores que violen la especificación USB al tener más de una configuración o interfaz.
