CVE-2026-98761CVE-2026-98761
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpm: recover after failure to start the frs ams
Reset the port if the tcpm fails to start the FAST_ROLE_SWAP AMS by
initiating error recovery on it.
This helps in cases where some cables (incorrectly) signal an FRS to
an FRS capable port during disconnection. The TCPC autonomously starts
sourcing VBUS on detecting the FRS signal. However, the VBUS sourcing is
left on when the FAST_ROLE_SWAP AMS fails to start (as tcpm_sink_tx_ok
is 0 as CC is open due to the cable disconnect). This is because the
code sets the state to INVALID_STATE without resetting the port state.
