CVE-2024-35986: phy: ti: tusb1210: Resolve charger-det crash if charger psy is unregistered

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.22% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 25b3498485ac281e5851700e33b97f12c9533fd8, 73224a5d2180066c7fe05b4656647601ba08d588, 9827caa5105fb16d1fae2e75c8d0e4662014b3ca.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 25b3498485ac281e5851700e33b97f12c9533fd8, 73224a5d2180066c7fe05b4656647601ba08d588, 9827caa5105fb16d1fae2e75c8d0e4662014b3ca or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phy: ti: tusb1210: Resolve charger-det crash if charger psy is unregistered The power_supply frame-work is not really designed for there to be long living in kernel references to power_supply devices. Specifically unregistering a power_supply while some other code has a reference to it triggers a WARN in power_supply_unregister(): WARN_ON(atomic_dec_return(&psy->use_cnt)); Folllowed by the power_supply still getting removed and the backing data freed anyway, leaving the tusb1210 charger-detect code with a dangling reference, resulting in a crash the next time tusb1210_get_online() is called. Fix this by only holding the reference in tusb1210_get_online() freeing it at the end of the function. Note this still leaves a theoretical race window, but it avoids the issue when manually rmmod-ing the charger chip driver during development.
