GHSA-7634-6GF7-R2F6

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-16 12:30 – Updated: 2026-09-16 15:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: typec: qcom-pmic: cancel reset_work on stop

pdphy_stop() disables IRQs but leaves reset_work pending. If the IRQ handler schedules it just before disable_irq(), the work runs after remove() frees the struct via devm.

Call cancel_work_sync() after disabling IRQs to close the window.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

Severity

7.8 (High)
