In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: cdns3: Fix deadlock when using NCM gadget
The cdns3 driver has the same NCM deadlock as fixed in cdnsp by commit
58f2fcb3a845 ("usb: cdnsp: Fix deadlock issue during using NCM gadget").
Under PREEMPT_RT the deadlock can be readily triggered by heavy network
traffic, for example using "iperf --bidir" over NCM ethernet link.
The deadlock occurs because the threaded interrupt handler gets
preempted by a softirq, but both are protected by the same spinlock.
Prevent deadlock by disabling softirq during threaded irq handler.
