Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved. The issue was related to the assignment of ACPI companions to xHCI ports and USB devices in the dwc3 host. The problem occurred because the primary fwnode, which is the ACPI companion, was shared, and assigning it resulted in the replacement of the fwnode->secondary pointer for the parent dwc3 device. This was unintentional and could have led to potential side effects, such as resource leaks.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
