Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usb: acpi: Prevent null pointer dereference in usb_acpi_add_usb4_devlink()<br />
<br />
As demonstrated by the fix for update_port_device_state,<br />
commit 12783c0b9e2c ("usb: core: Prevent null pointer dereference in update_port_device_state"),<br />
usb_hub_to_struct_hub() can return NULL in certain scenarios,<br />
such as during hub driver unbind or teardown race conditions,<br />
even if the underlying usb_device structure exists.<br />
<br />
Plus, all other places that call usb_hub_to_struct_hub() in the same file<br />
do check for NULL return values.<br />
<br />
If usb_hub_to_struct_hub() returns NULL, the subsequent access to<br />
hub->ports[udev->portnum - 1] will cause a null pointer dereference.
