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

USB: dummy-hcd: Fix interrupt synchronization error

This fixes an error in synchronization in the dummy-hcd driver. The
error has a somewhat involved history. The synchronization mechanism
was introduced by commit 7dbd8f4cabd9 ('USB: dummy-hcd: Fix erroneous
synchronization change'), which added an emulated 'interrupts enabled'
flag together with code emulating synchronize_irq() (it waits until
all current handler callbacks have returned).

But the emulated interrupt-disable occurred too late, after the driver
containing the handler callback routines had been told that it was
unbound and no more callbacks would occur. Commit 4a5d797a9f9c ('usb:
gadget: dummy_hcd: fix gpf in gadget_setup') tried to fix this by
moving the synchronize_irq() emulation code from dummy_stop() to
dummy_pullup(), which runs before the unbind callback.

There still were races, though, because the emulated interrupt-disable
still occurred too late. It couldn't be moved to dummy_pullup(),
because that routine can be called for reasons other than an impending
unbind. Therefore commits 7dc0c55e9f30 ('USB: UDC core: Add
udc_async_callbacks gadget op') and 04145a03db9d ('USB: UDC: Implement
udc_async_callbacks in dummy-hcd') added an API allowing the UDC core
to tell dummy-hcd exactly when emulated interrupts and their callbacks
should be disabled.

That brings us to the current state of things, which is still wrong
because the emulated synchronize_irq() occurs before the emulated
interrupt-disable! That's no good, beause it means that more emulated
interrupts can occur after the synchronize_irq() emulation has run,
leading to the possibility that a callback handler may be running when
the gadget driver is unbound.

To fix this, we have to move the synchronize_irq() emulation code yet
again, to the dummy_udc_async_callbacks() routine, which takes care of
enabling and disabling emulated interrupt requests. The
synchronization will now run immediately after emulated interrupts are
disabled, which is where it belongs.
