Summary

In the Linux kernel, the USB gadget uvc driver's uvcg_video_init() logs an error using the video->uvc pointer when kthread_run_worker() fails, but this pointer is not yet assigned. This triggers a null pointer dereference.

Risk Assessment

Can cause a kernel panic during UVC function initialization, leading to system unavailability. Systems using USB gadget UVC are at risk.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that uses uvc->func instead of video->uvc in the error message.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: uvc: Fix null pointer dereference in uvcg_video_init() In uvcg_video_init(), if kthread_run_worker() fails, the error logged uses uvcg_err(), however, the pointer it uses: video->uvc is not assigned at this point, triggering a null pointer dereference. Fix this by directly using uvc->func which is assigned already.
