CVE-2026-31754

EUVD-2026-26567
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: cdns3: gadget: fix state inconsistency on gadget init failure

When cdns3_gadget_start() fails, the DRD hardware is left in gadget mode
while software state remains INACTIVE, creating hardware/software state
inconsistency.

When switching to host mode via sysfs:
  echo host > /sys/class/usb_role/13180000.usb-role-switch/role

The role state is not set to CDNS_ROLE_STATE_ACTIVE due to the error,
so cdns_role_stop() skips cleanup because state is still INACTIVE.
This violates the DRD controller design specification (Figure22),
which requires returning to idle state before switching roles.

This leads to a synchronous external abort in xhci_gen_setup() when
setting up the host controller:

[  516.440698] configfs-gadget 13180000.usb: failed to start g1: -19

Fix by calling cdns_drd_gadget_off() in the error path to properly
clean up the DRD gadget state.
