Description

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the DWC3 USB controller driver in the Linux kernel. Multiple unsynchronized execution paths can invoke dwc3_remove_requests() concurrently, leading to premature freeing of USB requests. When one path frees requests while another is still processing them, a use-after-free crash occurs.

Statement

This affects systems with DWC3-based USB controllers, commonly found in ARM SoCs. The race is triggered by USB reset events concurrent with function unbind operations (e.g., during adb root).
