NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-modules-wireless package and not the kernel-uek-modules-wireless package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: dwc3: gadget: Move vbus draw to workqueue context

Currently dwc3_gadget_vbus_draw() can be called from atomic context, which in turn invokes power-supply-core APIs. And some these PMIC APIs have operations that may sleep, leading to kernel panic.

Fix this by moving the vbus_draw into a workqueue context.
