[PATCH] usbip: usbip_host: Fix null pointer dereference in rebind_store

From: Jeffin Philip

Date: Thu Aug 06 2026 - 01:18:05 EST


rebind_store calls do_rebind which dereferences udev without
checking if it is NULL. If busid is registered using match_busid
but the device is not present in the first place, it triggers a
null pointer dereference when we attempt to rebind the device.
Fix this by checking explicitly for udev first and returning
-ENODEV if udev is NULL.
