CVE-2024-50057: usb: typec: tipd: Free IRQ only if it was requested before

LowCVSS 3.3 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 13/100)

  • 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: 0.21% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 4d4b23c119542fbaed2a16794d3801cb4806ea02, b72bf5cade51ba4055c8a8998d275e72e6b521ce, db63d9868f7f310de44ba7bea584e2454f8b4ed0; azl3 kernel 6.6.56.1-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-1; azl3 kernel 6.6.57.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 4d4b23c119542fbaed2a16794d3801cb4806ea02, b72bf5cade51ba4055c8a8998d275e72e6b521ce, db63d9868f7f310de44ba7bea584e2454f8b4ed0; azl3 kernel 6.6.56.1-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-1; azl3 kernel 6.6.57.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-1 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: tipd: Free IRQ only if it was requested before In polling mode, if no IRQ was requested there is no need to free it. Call devm_free_irq() only if client->irq is set. This fixes the warning caused by the tps6598x module removal: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 333 at kernel/irq/devres.c:144 devm_free_irq+0x80/0x8c ... ...
