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: cros_ec_ucsi cros_ec_ucsi.3.auto: error -ETIMEDOUT: PPM init failed BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 RIP: 0010:__queue_work+0x83/0x4a0 Call Trace: __cfi_delayed_work_timer_fn+0x10/0x10 run_timer_softirq+0x3b6/0xbd0 sched_clock_cpu+0xc/0x110 irq_exit_rcu+0x18d/0x330 fred_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x5e/0x80 Fix this by ensuring strict ordering and proper serialization during teardown:
- Move ucsi_unregister_partner() to the beginning of the teardown sequence and protect it under the connector mutex lock.
- Ensure all pending partner tasks are explicitly flushed and finished before the workqueue is destroyed.
- 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: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000122: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI Workqueue: cros_ec_ucsi.3.auto-con2 ucsi_poll_worker RIP: 0010:ucsi_poll_worker+0x65/0x1e0 Call Trace:

worker_thread+0x188/0x3f0

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().
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB Type-C UCSI driver. This vulnerability arises from a timing issue during the unregistration of USB Type-C ports, where certain operations can race against the destruction of internal work queues. A local attacker could exploit this race condition to trigger a use-after-free error, which involves accessing memory after it has been released. This can lead to system crashes (Denial of Service) and potentially allow for arbitrary code execution.
