Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in the rt1711h_probe() TCPCI port registration handling in drivers/usb/typec/tcpm/tcpci_rt1711h.c when handling device probe failures after registering a TCPCI port. A local user can trigger a device probe failure after port registration to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because the TCPCI port is not unregistered when later probe steps fail.
