Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc2: fix a devres leak in hw_enable upon suspend resume
Each time the platform goes to low power, PM suspend / resume routines
call: __dwc2_lowlevel_hw_enable -> devm_add_action_or_reset().
This adds a new devres each time.
This may also happen at runtime, as dwc2_lowlevel_hw_enable() can be
called from udc_start().
This can be seen with tracing:
- echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/dev/devres_log/enable
- go to low power
- cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
A new "ADD" entry is found upon each low power cycle:
... devres_log: 49000000.usb-otg ADD 82a13bba devm_action_release (8 bytes)
... devres_log: 49000000.usb-otg ADD 49889daf devm_action_release (8 bytes)
...
A second issue is addressed here:
- regulator_bulk_enable() is called upon each PM cycle (suspend/resume).
- regulator_bulk_disable() never gets called.
So the reference count for these regulators constantly increase, by one
upon each low power cycle, due to missing regulator_bulk_disable() call
in __dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable().
The original fix that introduced the devm_add_action_or_reset() call,
fixed an issue during probe, that happens due to other errors in
dwc2_driver_probe() -> dwc2_core_reset(). Then the probe fails without
disabling regulators, when dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_PERIPHERAL.
Rather fix the error path: disable all the low level hardware in the
error path, by using the "hsotg->ll_hw_enabled" flag. Checking dr_mode
has been introduced to avoid a dual call to dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable().
"ll_hw_enabled" should achieve the same (and is used currently in the
remove() routine).

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: usb: dwc2: se corrige una fuga de devres en hw_enable al reanudar la suspensi\u00f3n. Cada vez que la plataforma pasa a bajo consumo, las rutinas de suspensi\u00f3n/reinicio de PM llaman a __dwc2_lowlevel_hw_enable -\u0026gt; devm_add_action_or_reset(). Esto agrega un nuevo devres cada vez. Esto tambi\u00e9n puede ocurrir en tiempo de ejecuci\u00f3n, ya que dwc2_lowlevel_hw_enable() puede llamarse desde udc_start(). Esto se puede ver con el seguimiento: - echo 1 \u0026gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/dev/devres_log/enable - ir a bajo consumo - cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace Se encuentra una nueva entrada \"ADD\" en cada ciclo de bajo consumo: ... devres_log: 49000000.usb-otg ADD 82a13bba devm_action_release (8 bytes) ... devres_log: 49000000.usb-otg ADD 49889daf devm_action_release (8 bytes) ... Aqu\u00ed se aborda un segundo problema: - regulator_bulk_enable() se llama en cada ciclo de PM (suspender/reanudar). - regulator_bulk_disable() nunca se llama. Por lo tanto, el recuento de referencias para estos reguladores aumenta constantemente, en uno con cada ciclo de bajo consumo, debido a la falta de la llamada a regulator_bulk_disable() en __dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable(). La correcci\u00f3n original, que introdujo la llamada a devm_add_action_or_reset(), solucion\u00f3 un problema durante el sondeo que se produce debido a otros errores en dwc2_driver_probe() -\u0026gt; dwc2_core_reset(). En ese caso, el sondeo falla sin deshabilitar los reguladores cuando dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_PERIPHERAL. Mejor soluci\u00f3n: deshabilite todo el hardware de bajo nivel en la ruta de error mediante el indicador \"hsotg-\u0026gt;ll_hw_enabled\". Se ha introducido la comprobaci\u00f3n de dr_mode para evitar una llamada dual a dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable(). \"ll_hw_enabled\" deber\u00eda lograr el mismo efecto (y se utiliza actualmente en la rutina remove())."
