Severity ?
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: qcom-pmic-typec: disable cc_debounce_dwork on stop cc_debounce_dwork is queued from the set_cc() and start_toggling() callbacks, which run from TCPM's kthread worker. port_stop() returns before tcpm_unregister_port() destroys that worker. Flushing the worker during unregister may therefore run a callback which queues the delayed work after port_stop() has returned. The delayed work can then run after devres has freed pmic_typec_port. Use disable_delayed_work_sync() in port_stop() to cancel a pending instance and prevent the TCPM callbacks from queueing another one. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

That matches other USB gadget/UDC and onboard Type-C teardown UAFs scored Local and is higher severity than Physical.\nAC:L - An attacker who initiates remove controls both sides: TCPM set_cc/start_toggling queue the 2ms cc_debounce_dwork, and kthread_destroy_worker() in tcpm_unregister_port() can run those callbacks after port_stop() returns, re-queueing work that then runs after devres frees pmic_typec_port. Use-after-free bugs are AC:L unless the attacker cannot influence the race.\nPR:L - Highest reasonable exposure is a local account on Qualcomm phones, automotive, and embedded boards that manage the Type-C/USB stack, where platform unbind or USB HAL access is often delegated beyond init-namespace root. Uncertain Low versus High, so Low per the overestimate rule.\nUI:N - The attacker initiates driver unbind, module unload, or a failing re-probe themselves; no separate victim action such as plugging a USB-C cable, mounting a filesystem, or opening a device node is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts the host kernel pmic_typec_port heap object within the same OS security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - qcom_pmic_typec_port_cc_debounce() recovers the freed pmic_typec_port via container_of and reads its spinlock and device pointer; per CNA guidance a use-after-free enables arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The same delayed work writes debouncing_cc and performs spin_lock/unlock on the freed object, and the pending delayed_work lives inside pmic_typec_port, so heap spray yields an arbitrary write or workqueue function-pointer hijack.\nA:H - Use-after-free of pmic_typec_port from system-wq delayed work after remove causes a kernel oops or panic even without a full exploit, so availability impact is High."
