The Centos security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Centos:7.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by Centos.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "usb: typec: ucsi: add a common function ucsi_unregister_connectors()"
The recent commit 87d0e2f41b8c ("usb: typec: ucsi: add a common function ucsi_unregister_connectors()") introduced a regression that caused NULL dereference at reading the power supply sysfs. It's a stale sysfs entry that should have been removed but remains with NULL ops. The commit changed the error handling to skip the entries after a NULL con->wq, and this leaves the power device unreleased.
For addressing the regression, the straight revert is applied here. Further code improvements can be done from the scratch again.
