How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_90-default to version 1-150700.15.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_90-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_90-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

usb: gadget: goku_udc: avoid NULL deref of dev->driver in INT_USBRESET log

goku_irq() handles a number of bus events under a single ep0 path. It already guards the gadget driver suspend/resume callbacks against a NULL ->driver:

if (dev-&gt;gadget.speed != USB_SPEED_UNKNOWN
        &amp;&amp; dev-&gt;driver
        &amp;&amp; dev-&gt;driver-&gt;resume) {
    spin_unlock(&amp;dev-&gt;lock);
    dev-&gt;driver-&gt;resume(&amp;dev-&gt;gadget);
    ...
}

but the very next branch unconditionally dereferences dev->driver when an INT_USBRESET arrives:

if (stat &amp; INT_USBRESET) {
    ACK(INT_USBRESET);
    INFO(dev, &#34;USB reset done, gadget %s\n&#34;,
        dev-&gt;driver-&gt;driver.name);
}

If the controller raises INT_USBRESET before any gadget driver has been bound (or after one has been unbound), dev->driver is NULL and the printk dereferences NULL.

smatch flags the inconsistency:

drivers/usb/gadget/udc/goku_udc.c:1618 goku_irq() error: we previously assumed 'dev->driver' could be null (see line 1607)

Fall back to a placeholder when the gadget driver is not bound.

No functional change while a gadget driver is bound.
