Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A kernel memory leak exists in USB storage devices when they incorrectly skip the data phase with status data. The code validates the CSW from the sg buffer but fails to clear it, potentially leaking USB protocol data to user space through SCSI generic (/dev/sg*) interfaces. The leaked data includes the US BULK CS SIGN 'USBS' signature and can be observed when requesting data, such as 512 KiB. The issue is resolved by zeroing the CSW data in the srb's transfer buffer after validation.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
