Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> xhci: Remove device endpoints from bandwidth list when freeing the device<br /> <br /> Endpoints are normally deleted from the bandwidth list when they are<br /> dropped, before the virt device is freed.<br /> <br /> If xHC host is dying or being removed then the endpoints aren&amp;#39;t dropped<br /> cleanly due to functions returning early to avoid interacting with a<br /> non-accessible host controller.<br /> <br /> So check and delete endpoints that are still on the bandwidth list when<br /> freeing the virt device.<br /> <br /> Solves a list_del corruption kernel crash when unbinding xhci-pci,<br /> caused by xhci_mem_cleanup() when it later tried to delete already freed<br /> endpoints from the bandwidth list.<br /> <br /> This only affects hosts that use software bandwidth checking, which<br /> currenty is only the xHC in intel Panther Point PCH (Ivy Bridge)
