CVE-2021-47269 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: ep0: fix NULL pointer exception
There is no validation of the index from dwc3_wIndex_to_dep() and we might
be referring a non-existing ep and trigger a NULL pointer exception. In
certain configurations we might use fewer eps and the index might wrongly
indicate a larger ep index than existing.
By adding this validation from the patch we can actually report a wrong
index back to the caller.
In our usecase we are using a composite device on an older kernel, but
upstream might use this fix also. Unfortunately, I cannot describe the
hardware for others to reproduce the issue as it is a proprietary
implementation.
