In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_ncm: align net_device lifecycle with bind/unbind
Currently, the net_device is allocated in ncm_alloc_inst() and freed in
ncm_free_inst(). This ties the network interface's lifetime to the
configuration instance rather than the USB connection (bind/unbind).
This decoupling causes issues when the USB gadget is disconnected where
the underlying gadget device is removed. The net_device can outlive its
parent, leading to dangling sysfs links and NULL pointer dereferences
when accessing the freed gadget device.

Move the net_device allocation to ncm_bind() and deallocation to
ncm_unbind(). This ensures the network interface exists only when the
gadget function is actually bound to a configuration.
To support pre-bind configuration (e.g., setting interface name or MAC
address via configfs), cache user-provided options in f_ncm_opts
using the gether_opts structure. Apply these cached settings to the
net_device upon creation in ncm_bind().
Preserve the use-after-free fix from commit 6334b8e4553c ("usb: gadget:
