In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: cdns3: fix role switching during resume
If the role change while we are suspended, the cdns3 driver switches to the
new mode during resume. However, switching to host mode in this context
causes a NULL pointer dereference.
The host role's start() operation registers a xhci-hcd device, but its
probe is deferred while we are in the resume path. The host role's resume()
operation assumes the xhci-hcd device is already probed, which is not the
case, leading to the dereference. Since the start() operation of the new
role is already called, the resume operation can be skipped.
So skip the resume operation for the new role if a role switch occurs
during resume. Once the resume sequence is complete, the xhci-hcd device
can be probed in case of host mode.
