Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the ucsi_ccg_remove() remove path and threaded IRQ handler when handling connector-change events during device removal. A local user can trigger concurrent remove and IRQ activity to cause a denial of service.

The issue arises from a race condition where an in-flight IRQ handler may access a freed ucsi object.
