DescriptionCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: typec: qcom-pmic-typec: disable cc_debounce_dwork on stop

cc_debounce_dwork is queued from the set_cc() and start_toggling() callbacks, which run from TCPM's kthread worker. port_stop() returns before tcpm_unregister_port() destroys that worker. Flushing the worker during unregister may therefore run a callback which queues the delayed work after port_stop() has returned.

The delayed work can then run after devres has freed pmic_typec_port.

Use disable_delayed_work_sync() in port_stop() to cancel a pending instance and prevent the TCPM callbacks from queueing another one.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

AnalysisAI

A race condition in the Linux kernel's Qualcomm PMIC USB Type-C driver (qcom-pmic-typec) can leave the cc_debounce_dwork delayed work queued after the port is torn down, resulting in a use-after-free once devres frees the pmic_typec_port structure. Systems running affected kernels from roughly 6.5 through the unfixed 6.12.110/6.18.51/7.2.5 baselines on Qualcomm PMIC Type-C hardware - typically Snapdragon-based phones and embedded boards - are exposed. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires: (1) a system running an affected Linux kernel (~6.5 through pre-fix 6.12.110/6.18.51/7.2.5) with the qcom-pmic-typec driver bound - i.e. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a use-after-free / race condition (CWE-416/362) in the Qualcomm PMIC USB Type-C driver (qcom-pmic-typec), where the cc_debounce_dwork delayed work can be re-queued by a TCPM kthread callback during unregister and then execute after devres has freed the pmic_typec_port structure. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to a kernel containing the fix: Linux 6.12.110, 6.18.51, 7.2.5, or 7.3-rc2, or apply the upstream stable commits 4359b5f95c93a4658e08368fa6fab9d89eb98447, c614d7c44ca7fb78867ba46b233acdb59287e8c8, 1ab669c2b44e1040ddfab7cd7f717aad580d17aa, or 263f7d61a4201cde16849b2d016251806e7418be, which add a disable_delayed_work_sync() call in port_stop() to cancel cc_debounce_dwork and prevent the TCPM callbacks from re-queuing it (Vendor-released patch: 6.12.110, 6.18.51, 7.2.5, 7.3-rc2; fix details at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-90027 and the git.kernel.org stable links). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all devices running Linux kernels from roughly 6.5 through the unfixed 6.12.110, 6.18.51, and 7.2.5 baselines on Qualcomm PMIC Type-C hardware (e.g., Snapdragon-based phones and embedded boards) and consult the vendor advisory for the exact patched kernel versions. …
