Description

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

USB: gadget: Fix use-after-free Read in usb_udc_uevent()

The syzbot fuzzer found a race between uevent callbacks and gadget
driver unregistration that can cause a use-after-free bug:

---------------------------------------------------------------
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in usb_udc_uevent+0x11f/0x130
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c:1732

dev_uevent+0x290/0x770 drivers/base/core.c:2424
---------------------------------------------------------------

The bug occurs because usb_udc_uevent() dereferences udc->driver but
does so without acquiring the udc_lock mutex, which protects this
field. If the gadget driver is unbound from the udc concurrently with
uevent processing, the driver structure may be accessed after it has
been deallocated.

To prevent the race, we make sure that the routine holds the mutex
around the racing accesses.
