NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64kb-devel package and not the kernel-64kb-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

usb: dwc2: gadget: don't reset gadget's driver->bus

UDC driver should not touch gadget's driver internals, especially it should not reset driver->bus. This wasn't harmful so far, but since commit fc274c1e9973 ("USB: gadget: Add a new bus for gadgets") gadget subsystem got it's own bus and messing with ->bus triggers the following NULL pointer dereference:

dwc2 12480000.hsotg: bound driver g_ether 8<--- cut here --- Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 [00000000] *pgd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM Modules linked in: ...

Fix this by removing driver->bus entry reset.
