CVE-2025-68327

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

usb: renesas_usbhs: Fix synchronous external abort on unbind

A synchronous external abort occurs on the Renesas RZ/G3S SoC if unbind is executed after the configuration sequence described above:

modprobe usb_f_ecm modprobe libcomposite modprobe configfs cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget mkdir -p g1 cd g1 echo 0x1d6b > idVendor echo 0x0104 > idProduct mkdir -p strings/0x409 echo 0123456789 > strings/0x409/serialnumber echo Renesas. > strings/0x409/manufacturer echo Ethernet Gadget > strings/0x409/product mkdir -p functions/ecm.usb0 mkdir -p configs/c.1 mkdir -p configs/c.1/strings/0x409 echo ECM > configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration

if [ ! -L configs/c.1/ecm.usb0 ]; then ln -s functions/ecm.usb0 configs/c.1 fi

echo 11e20000.usb > UDC echo 11e20000.usb > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/renesas_usbhs/unbind

The displayed trace is as follows:

The issue occurs because usbhs_sys_function_pullup(), which accesses the IP registers, is executed after the USBHS clocks have been disabled. The problem is reproducible on the Renesas RZ/G3S SoC starting with the addition of module stop in the clock enable/disable APIs. With module stop functionality enabled, a bus error is expected if a master accesses a module whose clock has been stopped and module stop activated.

Disable the IP clocks at the end of remove.
