ZDI-CAN-22273: Linux Kernel USB/IP VHCI Driver Race Condition Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

-- CVSS -----------------------------------------

7.1: AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

-- ABSTRACT -------------------------------------

Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative has identified a vulnerability affecting the following products:
Linux - Kernel

-- VULNERABILITY DETAILS ------------------------
* Version tested:6.6-rc3
* Installer file:-
* Platform tested:debian bullseye

---

### Analysis

```
race condition bug exists in the usb/ip VHCI driver
it leads to UAF on `struct usb_device`
thread 1 thread 2
vhci_device_reset() vhci_urb_enqueue()
usb_put_dev(vdev->udev);
usb_put_dev(vdev->udev); // free
vdev->udev = usb_get_dev(urb->dev); // UAF
vdev->udev = NULL;
```

here is the patch in order to trigger the bug more easier
```
