The original thread stalled on Shuah Khan's request for\nruntime testing of the unplug/unbind path. This patch supplies that\ntesting and keeps Zheng's original fix shape.\n\nIn vudc_probe(), v_init_timer() binds udc->tr_timer.timer to v_timer().\nusbip_sockfd_store() starts the timer via v_start_timer()/v_kick_timer().\nvudc_remove() can then free the containing struct vudc while the timer is\nstill pending or executing.\n\nKASAN confirms the race on an unpatched x86_64 QEMU guest with\nCONFIG_KASAN=y, CONFIG_USBIP_VUDC=y, CONFIG_USB_ZERO=y, and a tight loop\nthat repeatedly writes a socket fd to usbip_sockfd, closes the socket\npair, and unbinds/rebinds usbip-vudc.0:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __run_timer_base.part.0+0x8ba/0x8e0\n  Write of size 8 at addr ffff888001b80740 by task trigger_and_unb/239\n  Allocated by task 239:\n    vudc_probe+0x4d/0xaa0\n  Freed by task 239:\n    kfree+0x18f/0x520\n    device_release_driver_internal+0x388/0x540\n    unbind_store+0xd9/0x100\n\nThis lands in the timer core rather than v_timer() itself because the\nembedded timer_list is being walked after its containing struct vudc has\nalready been freed. The underlying lifetime bug is the same one Zheng\nreported.\n\nWith v_stop_timer() called from vudc_remove() and the timer deleted\nsynchronously, the same harness completed 5000 bind/unbind iterations\nwith no KASAN report.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1036ac6148995feaf486014d32bf26bf993c06a9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/207bf80362df3fce8ebc9723351dcb1bc6d9ed0f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61704e5cf9cd7464b510eb606e7e2978b1160a64","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/88d459e5b5a46da1ef9fd6f52d9439343edeec88","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a0638db2340ee053ab0450656a763fd111475e54"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-30T15:05:48.213661142+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-63905","score":0.0022,"percentile":0.12539,"date":"2026-10-30"},"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).
