CVE-2026-74441
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: Fix race condition and ordering in port unregistration
A synchronization issue exists during port unregistration where pending partner work items can race against workqueue destruction, leading to use-after-free conditions:
Fix this by ensuring strict ordering and proper serialization during teardown:
1. Move ucsi_unregister_partner() to the beginning of the teardown sequence and protect it under the connector mutex lock. 2.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
Ensure all pending partner tasks are explicitly flushed and finished before the workqueue is destroyed. 3. Switch from mod_delayed_work() to a cancel_delayed_work() and queue_delayed_work() sequence. This guarantees that items currently marked as pending won't be scheduled an additional time, preventing a double release of resources which leads to the following crash:
To ensure these rules are applied identically across both the normal teardown and the ucsi_init() error paths, consolidate the cleanup logic into a new helper, ucsi_unregister_port().
