no USB host packets, cable, or UDC bind are required, matching other gadget configfs bugs scored Local rather than Physical.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides by opening the same attribute on two fds (configfs serializes only per-fd) and racing show against store; store kfree()s the prior kstrndup string under opts->lock while show already holds the stale pointer, and the function need not be bound (store fails only if refcnt != 0).\nPR:L - gadgets_make(), function_make(), and the midi2 show/store handlers perform no capable() check; access is gated only by configfs DAC, and Android/embedded USB gadget HALs routinely chown /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget to non-root system or daemon accounts.\nUI:N - The attacker creates the midi2 function instance and performs the concurrent attribute read/write themselves; configfs is typically already mounted at /sys/kernel/config, and no victim mount, cable plug, or other-user action is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free of the configfs kstrndup string corrupts kernel heap within the same host kernel security authority; this is not a VM escape, sandbox breakout, or IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass.\nC:H - Callers load opts->info.<field> outside the lock, then f_midi2_opts_str_show() scnprintfs that pointer after a concurrent store kfree()d it; reclaiming the kmalloc object lets the attacker control the bytes copied to userspace, a UAF disclosure primitive.\nI:H - The same UAF of the kstrndup string, with store spraying attacker-chosen size and content into the same slab, is a classic heap use-after-free that can be converted into overlapping objects, arbitrary write, and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - scnprintf() of the freed string after kfree() reliably produces a KASAN slab-use-after-free oops or kernel panic, which the attacker can retrigger with further concurrent show/store loops."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_midi2.c"], "versions": [{"version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "f9bdf4c4f6410a1dfafafa383a0e21069372657f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "d11f3300b39e2daad2f0d9d66ddcc39a156cb594", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "e89e30f0b5d3004fe5955250bd8b04f3733e32ce", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "49fab5e1bdb205c36c965d0e9677bc40d282d3a2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "fed0aa7c6eaedc6c0d4e362fc91724aa47be4a7b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.6.157", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.12.110", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.18.51", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "7.2.5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_midi2.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.6.157", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.157"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc2"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f9bdf4c4f6410a1dfafafa383a0e21069372657f"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d11f3300b39e2daad2f0d9d66ddcc39a156cb594"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e89e30f0b5d3004fe5955250bd8b04f3733e32ce"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/49fab5e1bdb205c36c965d0e9677bc40d282d3a2"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fed0aa7c6eaedc6c0d4e362fc91724aa47be4a7b"}], "title": "usb: gadget: f_midi2: fix use-after-free in string attribute show path", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
