linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: kaweth: remove TX queue manipulation in kaweth_set_rx_mode
kaweth_set_rx_mode(), the ndo_set_rx_mode callback, calls
netif_stop_queue() and netif_wake_queue(). These are TX queue flow
control functions unrelated to RX multicast configuration.
The premature netif_wake_queue() can re-enable TX while tx_urb is still
in-flight, leading to a double usb_submit_urb() on the same URB:
kaweth_start_xmit() {
netif_stop_queue();
usb_submit_urb(kaweth->tx_urb);
}
kaweth_set_rx_mode() {
netif_stop_queue();
netif_wake_queue(); // wakes TX queue before URB is done
}
kaweth_start_xmit() {
netif_stop_queue();
usb_submit_urb(kaweth->tx_urb); // URB submitted while active
}
This triggers the WARN in usb_submit_urb():
"URB submitted while active"
This is a similar class of bug fixed in rtl8150 by
- commit 958baf5eaee3 ("net: usb: Remove disruptive netif_wake_queue in rtl8150_set_mu
