      <title>CVE-2023-52901 — usb: xhci: Check endpoint is valid before dereferencing it</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-52901</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;usb: xhci: Check endpoint is valid before dereferencing it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the host controller is not responding, all URBs queued to all
endpoints need to be killed. This can cause a kernel panic if we
dereference an invalid endpoint.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix this by using xhci_get_virt_ep() helper to find the endpoint and
checking if the endpoint is valid before dereferencing it.&lt;/p&gt;
