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

usb: uas: fix urb unmapping issue when the uas device is remove during ongoing data transfer

When a UAS device is unplugged during data transfer, there is

a probability of a system panic occurring. The root cause is

an access to an invalid memory address during URB callback handling.

Specifically, this happens when the dma_direct_unmap_sg() function

is called within the usb_hcd_unmap_urb_for_dma() interface, but the

sg->dma_address field is 0 and the sg data structure has already been

freed.

The SCSI driver sends transfer commands by invoking uas_queuecommand_lck()

in uas.c, using the uas_submit_urbs() function to submit requests to USB.

Within the uas_submit_urbs() implementation, three URBs (sense_urb,

data_urb, and cmd_urb) are sequentially submitted. Device removal may

occur at any point during uas_submit_urbs execution, which may result

in URB submission failure. However, some URBs might have been successfully

submitted before the failure, and uas_submit_urbs will return the -ENODEV

error code in this case. The current error handling directly calls

scsi_done(). In the SCSI driver, this eventually triggers scsi_complete()

to invoke scsi_end_request() for releasing the sgtable. The successfully

submitted URBs, when being unlinked to giveback, call

usb_hcd_unmap_urb_for_dma() in hcd.c, leading to exceptions during sg

unmapping operations since the sg data structure has already been freed.

This patch modifies the error condition check in the uas_submit_urbs()

function. When a UAS device is removed but one or more URBs have already

been successfully submitted to USB, it avoids immediately invoking

scsi_done() and save the cmnd to devinfo->cmnd array. If the successfully

submitted URBs is completed before devinfo->resetting being set, then

the scsi_done() function will be called within uas_try_complete() after

all pending URB operations are finalized. Otherwise, the scsi_done()

function will be called within uas_zap_pending(), which is executed after

usb_kill_anchored_urbs().

The error handling only takes effect when uas_queuecommand_lck() calls

uas_submit_urbs() and returns the error value -ENODEV . In this case,

the device is disconnected, and the flow proceeds to uas_disconnect(),

where uas_zap_pending() is invoked to call uas_try_complete().
