CVE-2025-37986

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

usb: typec: class: Invalidate USB device pointers on partner unregistration

To avoid using invalid USB device pointers after a Type-C partner disconnects, this patch clears the pointers upon partner unregistration. This ensures a clean state for future connections.

A privileged local user with the ability to trigger repeated USB Type-C device connections and disconnections could potentially cause use-after-free access to a stale USB device pointer in the kernel. This bug is reachable only from privileged contexts, such as root or processes managing USB devices (e.g. udev or USB daemons).
