From: Aleksandr Nogikh A NULL pointer dereference can occur in uvc_video_prep_requests() if userspace issues a VIDIOC_STREAMON ioctl before the USB host has fully configured the streaming endpoint. When userspace calls VIDIOC_STREAMON, the driver handles it in uvc_v4l2_streamon(), which in turn calls uvcg_video_enable(). Currently, uvcg_video_enable() only checks if the endpoint pointer is allocated (video->ep == NULL), but it fails to check if the endpoint is actually enabled (video->ep->enabled). The endpoint descriptor (video->ep->desc) is only assigned when the USB host explicitly selects the streaming alternate setting via a SET_INTERFACE control request. If userspace prematurely calls VIDIOC_STREAMON before the host has selected the streaming alternate setting, video->ep->desc will still be NULL. Because uvcg_video_enable() does not verify the endpoint's enabled state, it proceeds to call uvc_video_alloc_requests() and then uvc_video_prep_requests(). Inside uvc_video_prep_requests(), the code unconditionally dereferences video->ep->desc, resulting in a KASAN null-ptr-deref / general protection fault: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] RIP: 0010:usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc include/uapi/linux/usb/ch9.h:571 [inline] RIP: 0010:uvc_video_prep_requests drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_video.c:508 [inline] RIP: 0010:uvc_video_alloc_requests drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_video.c:559 [inline] RIP: 0010:uvcg_video_enable+0x142/0xe70 drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_video.c:784 Call Trace: uvc_v4l2_streamon+0x7e/0x110 drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_v4l2.c:531 __video_do_ioctl+0x8af/0xc70 drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:3133 video_usercopy+0x860/0x1430 drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:3475 v4l2_ioctl+0x18d/0x1e0 drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:366 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:597 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0xfc/0x170 fs/ioctl.c:583 To fix this, update uvcg_video_enable() to also verify that the endpoint is enabled (!video->ep->enabled). This ensures that if userspace prematurely calls VIDIOC_STREAMON, the driver will safely reject the request with -ENODEV instead of crashing the kernel.
