Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Linux kernel versions from 5.8 until the fix are affected: the tcpci_rt1711h USB Type-C driver can leave its TCPCI port registered when probe fails after registration. The source gives few details on what an attacker needs or can do. Upgrade to 6.1.191, 6.6.145, 6.12.96, 6.18.39, or a later release in the same series.
