Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: usb: typec: ucsi: Se corrige el acceso a punteros nulos. Los recursos solo deben liberarse después de que se hayan destruido todos los subprocesos que los utilizan. Esta confirmación garantiza que los recursos no se liberen prematuramente esperando a que se complete la cola de trabajo asociada antes de desasignarlos.
