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
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
