CVE-2022-50704 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2022-50704: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: gadget: Fix use-after-free during usb config switch In the process of switching USB config from rndis to other config, if the hardware does not support the ->pullup callback, or the hardware encounters a low probability fault, both of them may cause the ->pullup callback to fail, which will then cause a system panic (use after free). The gadget drivers sometimes need to be unloaded regardless of the hardware's behavior. Analysis as follows: ======================================================================= (1) write /config/usb_gadget/g1/UDC "none" gether_disconnect+0x2c/0x1f8 rndis_disable+0x4c/0x74 composite_disconnect+0x74/0xb0 configfs_composite_disconnect+0x60/0x7c usb_gadget_disconnect+0x70/0x124 usb_gadget_unregister_driver+0xc8/0x1d8 gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store+0xec/0x1e4 (2) rm /config/usb_gadget/g1/configs/b.1/f1 rndis_deregister+0x28/0x54 rndis_free+0x44/0x7c usb_put_function+0x14/0x1c config_usb_cfg_unlink+0xc4/0xe0 configfs_unlink+0x124/0x1c8 vfs_unlink+0x114/0x1dc (3) rmdir /config/usb_gadget/g1/functions/rndis.gs4 panic+0x1fc/0x3d0 do_page_fault+0xa8/0x46c do_mem_abort+0x3c/0xac el1_sync_handler+0x40/0x78 0xffffff801138f880 rndis_close+0x28/0x34 eth_stop+0x74/0x110 dev_close_many+0x48/0x194 rollback_registered_many+0x118/0x814 unregister_netdev+0x20/0x30 gether_cleanup+0x1c/0x38 rndis_attr_release+0xc/0x14 kref_put+0x74/0xb8 configfs_rmdir+0x314/0x374 If gadget->ops->pullup() return an error, function rndis_close() will be called, then it will causes a use-after-free problem. =======================================================================

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-50704

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-50704 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2022-50704

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-50704.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2022-50704, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
