[PATCH v7 3/3] usb: gadget: f_tcm: clear the scatter list when reusing the BOT status request

From: Yehyeong Lee

Date: Tue Oct 13 2026 - 03:39:49 EST


bot_send_bad_status() reuses fu->bot_req_in/bot_req_out to send the CSW or
drain the data phase, but a preceding sg command left req->sg and
req->num_sgs pointing at that command's t_data_sg - set in
bot_send_read_response() for a read, or usbg_prepare_w_request() for a
write. That command is freed before the status request runs, so an
sg-capable UDC walks a freed scatter list in dma_map_sg(): it reads freed
heap out to the host on an IN endpoint, or writes host data into a freed
page on an OUT endpoint.

Clear req->num_sgs and req->sg so the UDC uses the linear req->buf instead.

With KASAN, a read command followed by a rejected command that reuses
bot_req_in reports a slab-use-after-free in the UDC's scatterlist walk,
with the previous command's sgl_free() on the freeing stack; clearing the
scatter list removes it, while a normal sg read still queues its own
scatterlist.
