Kernel crash via empty configuration-list dereference
Published Jul 25, 2026 · Updated Jul 25, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux Kernel USB gadget composite driver allows local users to crash the kernel through an OTG control transfer. composite_setup() uses list_first_entry() on an empty cdev->configs list, derives a bogus configuration pointer, and copies descriptor data from an invalid address into the response buffer. Reachability requires an OTG gadget whose configuration list is empty during an unbind race or before a driver adds its first configuration; the demonstrated consequence is a KASAN fault and service crash.
