CVE-2026-98764CVE-2026-98764
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in FUNCTIONFS_ENDPOINT_DESC
When user space sets up FunctionFS with only full-speed descriptors
(e.g., flags = FUNCTIONFS_HAS_FS_DESC) and the gadget operates at a
higher speed (such as USB_SPEED_HIGH or USB_SPEED_SUPER),
config_ep_by_speed() detects that the function lacks descriptors for
the current speed, logs a warning, and falls back to full-speed
descriptors. The endpoint is then successfully enabled via
usb_ep_enable(), and epfile->ep becomes valid.
However, when user space subsequently issues the FUNCTIONFS_ENDPOINT_DESC
ioctl to query the endpoint descriptor, ffs_epfile_ioctl() selects the
descriptor index solely based on gadget->speed:
switch (epfile->ffs->gadget->speed) {
case USB_SPEED_SUPER:
case USB_SPEED_SUPER_PLUS:
desc_idx = 2;
break;
case USB_SPEED_HIGH:
desc_idx = 1;
break;
default:
desc_idx = 0;
}
desc = epfile->ep->descs[desc_idx]
