usb: core: clear both ep_in and ep_out for non-ep0 control endpoints PUBLISHED

Description (CNA)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: core: clear both ep_in and ep_out for non-ep0 control endpoints In usb_enable_endpoint(), non-zero control endpoints (where usb_endpoint_xfer_control(&ep->desc) is true) populate both dev->ep_in[epnum] and dev->ep_out[epnum] with the same struct usb_host_endpoint pointer. However, usb_disable_endpoint() only clears either dev->ep_out[epnum] or dev->ep_in[epnum] depending on the direction bit of epaddr when reset_hardware is set, leaving the opposite direction's array slot pointing to the disabled/freed endpoint. Clear both dev->ep_out[epnum] and dev->ep_in[epnum] when disabling a non-ep0 control endpoint with reset_hardware set, and update the function kerneldoc accordingly. Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 using dummy_hcd and raw-gadget to enumerate a USB device with a non-zero control endpoint (bEndpointAddress 0x01, bmAttributes USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_CONTROL), verifying that both dev->ep_in[1] and dev->ep_out[1] are cleared when the interface is disabled.
