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

    media: imon: make send_packet() more robust

    syzbot is reporting that imon has three problems which result in
    hung tasks due to forever holding device lock [1].

    First problem is that when usb_rx_callback_intf0() once got -EPROTO error
    after ictx->dev_present_intf0 became true, usb_rx_callback_intf0()
    resubmits urb after printk(), and resubmitted urb causes
    usb_rx_callback_intf0() to again get -EPROTO error. This results in
    printk() flooding (RCU stalls).

    Alan Stern commented [2] that

      In theory it's okay to resubmit _if_ the driver has a robust
      error-recovery scheme (such as giving up after some fixed limit on the
      number of errors or after some fixed time has elapsed, perhaps with a
      time delay to prevent a flood of errors).  Most drivers don't bother to
      do this; they simply give up right away.  This makes them more
      vulnerable to short-term noise interference during USB transfers, but in
      reality such interference is quite rare.  There's nothing really wrong
      with giving up right away.

    but imon has a poor error-recovery scheme which just retries forever;
    this behavior should be fixed.

    Since I'm not sure whether it is safe for imon users to give up upon any
    error code, this patch takes care of only union of error codes chosen from
    modules in drivers/media/rc/ directory which handle -EPROTO error (i.e.
    ir_toy, mceusb and igorplugusb).

    Second problem is that when usb_rx_callback_intf0() once got -EPROTO error
    before ictx->dev_present_intf0 becomes true, usb_rx_callback_intf0() always
    resubmits urb due to commit 8791d63af0cf ([media] imon: don't wedge
    hardware after early callbacks). Move the ictx->dev_present_intf0 test
    introduced by commit 6f6b90c9231a ([media] imon: don't parse scancodes
    until intf configured) to immediately before imon_incoming_packet(), or
    the first problem explained above happens without printk() flooding (i.e.
    hung task).

    Third problem is that when usb_rx_callback_intf0() is not called for some
    reason (e.g. flaky hardware; the reproducer for this problem sometimes
    prevents usb_rx_callback_intf0() from being called),
    wait_for_completion_interruptible() in send_packet() never returns (i.e.
    hung task). As a workaround for such situation, change send_packet() to
    wait for completion with timeout of 10 seconds.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
