CVE-2024-50150CVE-2024-50150
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: altmode should keep reference to parent
The altmode device release refers to its parent device, but without keeping
a reference to it.
When registering the altmode, get a reference to the parent and put it in
the release function.
Before this fix, when using CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE, we see issues
like this:
