Description

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

xhci: Fix Panther point NULL pointer deref at full-speed re-enumeration

re-enumerating full-speed devices after a failed address device command can trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

Full-speed devices may need to reconfigure the endpoint 0 Max Packet Size value during enumeration. Usb core calls usb_ep0_reinit() in this case, which ends up calling xhci_configure_endpoint().

On Panther point xHC the xhci_configure_endpoint() function will additionally check and reserve bandwidth in software. Other hosts do this in hardware

If xHC address device command fails then a new xhci_virt_device structure is allocated as part of re-enabling the slot, but the bandwidth table pointers are not set up properly here. This triggers the NULL pointer dereference the next time usb_ep0_reinit() is called and xhci_configure_endpoint() tries to check and reserve bandwidth

Fix this by making sure bandwidth table pointers are set up correctly after a failed address device command, and additionally by avoiding checking for bandwidth in cases like this where no actual endpoints are added or removed, i.e. only context for default control endpoint 0 is evaluated.
