In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: clear forceRM when issuing EndTransfer
The forceRM bit of the DEPCMD register controls the behavior of the
EndTransfer command used to stop an active transfer. Older DWC3
programming guide revisions recommended setting forceRM=1 when
issuing EndTransfer. Newer programming guide revisions recommend
issuing EndTransfer with forceRM cleared.
With forceRM=1 on DWC_usb31 v2.00a and v2.10a controllers, a transfer
aborted through the ep_dequeue path was observed to remain active
after EndTransfer completion. A subsequent StartTransfer issued on the
same endpoint triggered writes associated with the aborted transfer.
This resulted in an SMMU fault because the transfer buffer had already
been unmapped during EndTransfer command-completion cleanup.
Using forceRM=0 eliminates the issue. Although older DWC3 programming
guide revisions recommended setting forceRM=1, no issues are known
from using forceRM=0. Clear forceRM when issuing EndTransfer to provide
consistent EndTransfer behavior and align with newer programming guide
recommendations. (NVD)
