Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phy: fsl-imx8mq-usb: fix typec switch leak on probe error path If probe fails after imx95_usb_phy_get_tca() succeeds, the typec switch leaks because the only cleanup path was in .remove(), which never runs on probe failure. Use devm_add_action_or_reset() so the switch is cleaned up on both probe failure and driver removal. The imx95_usb_phy_put_tca() is no longer needed, it will be removed in .remove() too.

              "value": "AV:L - The leak is created in imx8mq_usb_phy_probe() after tca_blk_get_typec_switch() calls typec_switch_register(); the entry point is platform_probe of DT node usb3_phy@4c1f0040 (compatible fsl,imx95-usb-phy). No USB or network protocol message carries the trigger; this is a probe error-path leak.\nAC:H - After imx95_usb_phy_get_tca() succeeds, the only later failure is ENOMEM from kzalloc/devres_alloc in __devm_of_phy_provider_register(); imx8m_get_phy_tuning_data() cannot fail. That GFP_KERNEL failure is not attacker-controlled, and suppress_bind_attrs=true blocks sysfs rebind of imx8mq-usb-phy.\nPR:N - imx8mq_usb_phy_probe() has no capable() check. PHY_FSL_IMX8MQ_USB defaults y on ARCH_MXC\u0026\u0026ARM64, so of_platform populate binds usb3_phy@4c1f0040 during kernel init on i.MX95 boards that set status=okay. Sysfs bind is not required and is disabled by suppress_bind_attrs.\nUI:N - of_platform probe of usb3_phy and a later tcpci/tcpm_register_port() of ptn5110@50 (imx95-19x19-evk typec_con) run unattended at boot. typec_register_port() calls typec_switch_get() without a mount, open, or USB-C cable plug.\nS:U - The leaked typec_switch_dev, the devres free of imx8mq_usb_phy, and tca_blk_typec_switch_set() run in the host kernel PHY/Type-C stack. This is not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host escape or an IOMMU/DMA bypass.\nC:H - typec_switch_register() stores drvdata=imx_phy; probe failure then frees that imx8mq_usb_phy via devres while the class device remains. tca_blk_typec_switch_set() reads the freed object via typec_switch_get_drvdata() when TCPM\u0027s tcpm_mux_set() calls typec_set_orientation().\nI:H - The same dangling drvdata is used by tca_blk_typec_switch_set() to clk_prepare_enable(imx_phy-\u003eclk) and by tca_blk_orientation_set() to writel() TCA_GCFG/TCA_SYSMODE_CFG through tca-\u003ebase; reclaiming the freed imx8mq_usb_phy/tca_blk slab is a write and control-flow primitive.\nA:H - Once probe fails, fwnode_typec_switch_get() does try_module_get(sw_dev-\u003edev.parent-\u003edriver-\u003eowner) with parent-\u003edriver NULL, or tca_blk_typec_switch_set() dereferences the freed imx_phy; either path oopses the i.MX95 host."
