{"id":"CVE-2026-90024","summary":"usb: gadget: midi2: Fix null-pointer dereference in f_midi2_free_ep_reqs","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nusb: gadget: midi2: Fix null-pointer dereference in f_midi2_free_ep_reqs\n\nA null-pointer dereference occurs in f_midi2_free_ep_reqs() when attempting\nto clean up an endpoint that was never initialized.\n\nWhen configuring the MIDI 2.0 gadget via configfs and setting the block\ndirection to SNDRV_UMP_DIR_INPUT, the initialization of the midi1_ep_out\nendpoint is explicitly skipped during the gadget bind phase\n(f_midi2_bind()). As a result, the usb_ep-\u003ecard field remains NULL.\n\nLater, when the host sets the alternate setting, f_midi2_set_alt()\nunconditionally stops both the IN and OUT endpoints by calling\nf_midi2_stop_eps(), which in turn calls f_midi2_free_ep_reqs() for both\nendpoints. When f_midi2_free_ep_reqs() is called for the uninitialized\nmidi1_ep_out, it attempts to dereference usb_ep-\u003ecard to determine the\nnumber of requests to free, leading to a crash.\n\nFix this by using usb_ep-\u003enum_reqs instead of usb_ep-\u003ecard-\u003einfo.num_reqs\nin f_midi2_free_ep_reqs(). usb_ep-\u003enum_reqs is correctly set during\nf_midi2_init_ep() and remains 0 if the endpoint was never initialized,\nsafely avoiding the loop. For consistency, apply the same change to\nf_midi2_alloc_ep_reqs().\n\nOops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address\n0xdffffc00000000ee: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI\nKASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000770-0x0000000000000777]\n...\nRIP: 0010:f_midi2_free_ep_reqs drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_midi2.c:1166\n[inline]\nRIP: 0010:f_midi2_stop_eps+0x28e/0x4d0\ndrivers/usb/gadget/function/f_midi2.c:1246\n...\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n f_midi2_set_alt+0x11c/0xf00 drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_midi2.c:1296\n composite_setup+0x1ffd/0x3480 drivers/usb/gadget/composite.c:1933\n configfs_composite_setup+0xbd/0x100 drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c:1877","modified":"2026-09-18T03:48:34.736832496Z","published":"2026-09-16T10:33:27.624Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/90xxx/CVE-2026-90024.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4079f19a0e1ce76f1e21a398f02aca150ceaaf61"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/51ddc55c75087ac25342f6d73d3aeaf14f59bd76"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5b92f6a0c7c01efbb335d837ecdf34d38d98720f"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9c3d5091e3568ed48ac4c5b08a78eb06fad0d70a"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f0efaf1872949e96d213c8e910fd9517f7d7c406"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/90xxx/CVE-2026-90024.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-90024"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"8b645922b22303cec4628dbbbf6c8553d1cdec87"},{"fixed":"51ddc55c75087ac25342f6d73d3aeaf14f59bd76"},{"fixed":"5b92f6a0c7c01efbb335d837ecdf34d38d98720f"},{"fixed":"9c3d5091e3568ed48ac4c5b08a78eb06fad0d70a"},{"fixed":"4079f19a0e1ce76f1e21a398f02aca150ceaaf61"},{"fixed":"f0efaf1872949e96d213c8e910fd9517f7d7c406"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-90024.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.6.0"},{"fixed":"6.6.157"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.7.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.110"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.51"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"7.2.5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-90024.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
