Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usb: uas: fix urb unmapping issue when the uas device is remove during ongoing data transfer<br />
<br />
When a UAS device is unplugged during data transfer, there is<br />
a probability of a system panic occurring. The root cause is<br />
an access to an invalid memory address during URB callback handling.<br />
Specifically, this happens when the dma_direct_unmap_sg() function<br />
is called within the usb_hcd_unmap_urb_for_dma() interface, but the<br />
sg->dma_address field is 0 and the sg data structure has already been<br />
freed.<br />
<br />
The SCSI driver sends transfer commands by invoking uas_queuecommand_lck()<br />
in uas.c, using the uas_submit_urbs() function to submit requests to USB.<br />
Within the uas_submit_urbs() implementation, three URBs (sense_urb,<br />
data_urb, and cmd_urb) are sequentially submitted. Device removal may<br />
occur at any point during uas_submit_urbs execution, which may result<br />
in URB submission failure. However, some URBs might have been successfully<br />
submitted before the failure, and uas_submit_urbs will return the -ENODEV<br />
error code in this case. The current error handling directly calls<br />
scsi_done(). In the SCSI driver, this eventually triggers scsi_complete()<br />
to invoke scsi_end_request() for releasing the sgtable. The successfully<br />
submitted URBs, when being unlinked to giveback, call<br />
usb_hcd_unmap_urb_for_dma() in hcd.c, leading to exceptions during sg<br />
unmapping operations since the sg data structure has already been freed.<br />
<br />
This patch modifies the error condition check in the uas_submit_urbs()<br />
function. When a UAS device is removed but one or more URBs have already<br />
been successfully submitted to USB, it avoids immediately invoking<br />
scsi_done() and save the cmnd to devinfo->cmnd array. If the successfully<br />
submitted URBs is completed before devinfo->resetting being set, then<br />
the scsi_done() function will be called within uas_try_complete() after<br />
all pending URB operations are finalized. Otherwise, the scsi_done()<br />
function will be called within uas_zap_pending(), which is executed after<br />
usb_kill_anchored_urbs().<br />
<br />
The error handling only takes effect when uas_queuecommand_lck() calls<br />
uas_submit_urbs() and returns the error value -ENODEV . In this case,<br />
the device is disconnected, and the flow proceeds to uas_disconnect(),<br />
where uas_zap_pending() is invoked to call uas_try_complete().
