It's possible that usb_choose_configuration() can get called when a USB device has no driver. In this case the recent commit a87b8e3be926 ("usb: core: Allow subclassed USB drivers to override usb_choose_configuration()") can cause a crash since it dereferenced the driver structure without checking for NULL. Let's add a check. This was seen in the real world when usbguard got ahold of a r8152 device at the wrong time. It can also be simulated via this on a computer with one r8152-based USB Ethernet adapter: cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8152-cfgselector to_unbind="$(ls -d *-*)" real_dir="$(readlink -f "${to_unbind}")" echo "${to_unbind}" > unbind cd "${real_dir}" echo 0 > authorized echo 1 > authorized Fixes: a87b8e3be926 ("usb: core: Allow subclassed USB drivers to override usb_choose_configuration()") Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/usb/core/generic.c | 14 +++++++++----- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/core/generic.c b/drivers/usb/core/generic.c index dcb897158228..365482347333 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/core/generic.c +++ b/drivers/usb/core/generic.c @@ -59,15 +59,19 @@ int usb_choose_configuration(struct usb_device *udev) int num_configs; int insufficient_power = 0; struct usb_host_config *c, *best; - struct usb_device_driver *udriver = to_usb_device_driver(udev->dev.driver); + struct usb_device_driver *udriver; if (usb_device_is_owned(udev)) return 0; - if (udriver->choose_configuration) { - i = udriver->choose_configuration(udev); - if (i >= 0) - return i; + if (udev->dev.driver) { + udriver = to_usb_device_driver(udev->dev.driver); + + if (udriver->choose_configuration) { + i = udriver->choose_configuration(udev); + if (i >= 0) + return i; + } } best = NULL; -- 2.43.0.472.g3155946c3a-goog
