renesas usbhs

About this tag
The renesas usbhs tag covers Linux kernel stability issues and security vulnerabilities specific to the Renesas USBHS driver, which is used on Renesas SoCs. Recent discussions focus on two CVEs: CVE-2025-21917, a NULL-pointer crash that can occur during repeated unbind/bind operations, and CVE-2025-68327, a synchronous external abort triggered by a specific gadget configuration sequence. Both issues are addressed by targeted kernel patches that reorder or flush driver operations to prevent resource races. While not remotely exploitable, these bugs can cause system instability or kernel oops on affected hardware. The tag is relevant for developers and system administrators maintaining Linux on Renesas platforms.

  1. Linux Renesas USBHS Patch Prevents Kernel Oops CVE-2025-21917

    The Linux kernel received a targeted stability fix that addresses a NULL-pointer crash in the Renesas USBHS driver (tracked as CVE‑2025‑21917): maintainers now flush the delayed notify_hotplug work to ensure the hotplug worker cannot run against torn-down driver resources, preventing a...

  2. CVE-2025-68327: Renesas USBHS Kernel Abort Fixed by Clock Shutdown Reorder

    A recently disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-68327, affects the Renesas USBHS driver (renesas_usbhs) and can trigger a synchronous external abort — effectively a hard kernel fault — when a specific gadget configuration sequence is followed and the driver is unbound. The...
