CVE-2026-97482 — usb: gadget: goku_udc: avoid NULL deref of dev->driver in INT_USBRESET log

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: goku_udc: avoid NULL deref of dev->driver in INT_USBRESET log goku_irq() handles a number of bus events under a single ep0 path. It already guards the gadget driver suspend/resume callbacks against a NULL ->driver: if (dev->gadget.speed != USB_SPEED_UNKNOWN && dev->driver && dev->driver->resume) { spin_unlock(&dev->lock); dev->driver->resume(&dev->gadget); ... } but the very next branch unconditionally dereferences dev->driver when an INT_USBRESET arrives: if (stat & INT_USBRESET) { ACK(INT_USBRESET); INFO(dev, "USB reset done, gadget %s\n", dev->driver->driver.name); } If the controller raises INT_USBRESET before any gadget driver has been bound (or after one has been unbound), dev->driver is NULL and the printk dereferences NULL. smatch flags the inconsistency: drivers/usb/gadget/udc/goku_udc.c:1618 goku_irq() error: we previously assumed 'dev->driver' could be null (see line 1607) Fall back to a placeholder when the gadget driver is not bound. No functional change while a gadget driver is bound.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+1

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-97482 is "usb: gadget: goku_udc: avoid NULL deref of dev->driver in INT_USBRESET log", rated Unknown. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. EPSS 0.17% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
