Description

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

usb: musb: sunxi: Fix accessing an released usb phy

Commit 6ed05c68cbca (“usb: musb: sunxi: Explicitly release USB PHY on
exit”) will cause that usb phy @glue->xceiv is accessed after released.

  1. register platform driver @sunxi_musb_driver
    // get the usb phy @glue->xceiv
    sunxi_musb_probe() –> devm_usb_get_phy().

  2. register and unregister platform driver @musb_driver
    musb_probe() –> sunxi_musb_init()
    use the phy here
    //the phy is released here
    musb_remove() –> sunxi_musb_exit() –> devm_usb_put_phy()

  3. register @musb_driver again
    musb_probe() –> sunxi_musb_init()
    use the phy here but the phy has been released at 2).

Fixed by reverting the commit, namely, removing devm_usb_put_phy()
from sunxi_musb_exit().
