CVE-2025-68287 is a race condition in the Linux kernel DWC3 USB gadget driver’s concurrent calls to dwc3_remove_requests(). USB-reset processing can invoke request removal through endpoint-zero reset handling or active-transfer shutdown, while asynchronous USB function unbind/rebind activity, including activity initiated during adb root, can disable endpoints and free outbound USB requests. Because these paths are not synchronized, a reset-handling path can continue to access a request after the asynchronous path has freed it, resulting in a use-after-free and kernel crash. The fix avoids processing requests that have already completed and adds endpoint-zero request-status handling while queueing.
