{"cve":"CVE-2025-68282","nvd":{"published":"2025-12-16T16:16:06.970","modified":"2026-10-13T19:10:00.193","status":"Deferred","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nusb: gadget: udc: fix use-after-free in usb_gadget_state_work\n\nA race condition during gadget teardown can lead to a use-after-free\nin usb_gadget_state_work(), as reported by KASAN:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in sysfs_notify+0x2c/0xd0\n  Workqueue: events usb_gadget_state_work\n\nThe fundamental race occurs because a concurrent event (e.g., an\ninterrupt) can call usb_gadget_set_state() and schedule gadget->work\nat any time during the cleanup process in usb_del_gadget().\n\nCommit 399a45e5237c (\"usb: gadget: core: flush gadget workqueue after\ndevice removal\") attempted to fix this by moving flush_work() to after\ndevice_del(). However, this does not fully solve the race, as a new\nwork item can still be scheduled *after* flush_work() completes but\nbefore the gadget's memory is freed, leading to the same use-after-free.\n\nThis patch fixes the race condition robustly by introducing a 'teardown'\nflag and a 'state_lock' spinlock to the usb_gadget struct. The flag is\nset during cleanup in usb_del_gadget() *before* calling flush_work() to\nprevent any new work from being scheduled once cleanup has commenced.\nThe scheduling site, usb_gadget_set_state(), now checks this flag under\nthe lock before queueing the work, thus safely closing the race window.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/10014310193cf6736c1aeb4105c5f4a0818d0c65","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3b32caa73d135eea8fb9cabb45e9fc64c5a3ecb9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/baeb66fbd4201d1c4325074e78b1f557dff89b5b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c12a0c3ef815ddd67e47f9c819f9fe822fed5467","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dddc944d65169b552e09cb54e3ed4fbb9ea26416"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:17:07.138532058+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-68282","score":0.00205,"percentile":0.1037,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
