In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb:
roles: fix NULL pointer issue when put module’s reference In current
design, usb role class driver will get usb_role_switch parent’s module
reference after the user get usb_role_switch device and put the reference
after the user put the usb_role_switch device. However, the parent device
of usb_role_switch may be removed before the user put the usb_role_switch.
If so, then, NULL pointer issue will be met when the user put the parent
module’s reference. This will save the module pointer in structure of
usb_role_switch. Then, we don’t need to find module by iterating long
relations.
