commit bd729f9d67aa9a303d8925bb8c4f06af25f407d1 upstream. The syzbot fuzzing project found a use-after-free bug in the USB core. The bug was caused by usbfs not unbinding from an interface when the USB device file was closed, which led another process to attempt the unbind later on, after the private data structure had been deallocated. The reason usbfs did not unbind the interface at the appropriate time was because it thought the interface had never been claimed in the first place. This was caused by the fact that usb_driver_claim_interface() does not clean up properly when device_bind_driver() returns an error. Although the error code gets passed back to the caller, the iface->dev.driver pointer remains set and iface->condition remains equal to USB_INTERFACE_BOUND. This patch adds proper error handling to usb_driver_claim_interface().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
