In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: USB: Fix wrong-direction WARNING in plusb.c The syzbot fuzzer detected a bug in the plusb network driver: A zero-length control-OUT transfer was treated as a read instead of a write. In modern kernels this error provokes a WARNING: usb 1-1: BOGUS control dir, pipe 80000280 doesn't match bRequestType c0 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 4645 at drivers/usb/core/urb.c:411 usb_submit_urb+0x14a7/0x1880 drivers/usb/core/urb.c:411 Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 4645 Comm: dhcpcd Not tainted 6.2.0-rc6-syzkaller-00050-g9f266ccaa2f5 #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/12/2023 RIP: 0010:usb_submit_urb+0x14a7/0x1880 drivers/usb/core/urb.c:411 ...
