Summary

In the Linux kernel, the USB gadget midi2 driver's f_midi2_alloc_inst() creates default configfs groups, but configfs_remove_default_groups() is never called during function teardown or EP cleanup. This leaks f_midi2_ep_opts and f_midi2_block_opts structures.

Risk Assessment

Repeated mount/unmount operations can exhaust kernel memory, destabilizing the system. Systems using USB gadget MIDI 2.0 are at risk.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds configfs_remove_default_groups() calls in f_midi2_free_inst() and f_midi2_ep_opts_release().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: midi2: remove default configfs groups on teardown f_midi2_alloc_inst() creates default configfs child groups for the default endpoint and default block using configfs_add_default_group(), setting their internal refcount to 1. However, during function teardown in f_midi2_free_inst() or EP cleanup in f_midi2_ep_opts_release(), configfs_remove_default_groups() is never called, therefore never dropping the refcount and leaking struct f_midi2_ep_opts and f_midi2_block_opts. Add the missing configfs_remove_default_groups() in the afformentioned functions to free the structs properly.
