Overview
CVE-2025-68323 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 18, 2025.
Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: fix use-after-free caused by uec->work
The delayed work uec->work is scheduled in gaokun_ucsi_probe()
but never properly canceled in gaokun_ucsi_remove(). This creates
use-after-free scenarios where the ucsi and gaokun_ucsi structure
are freed after ucsi_destroy() completes execution, while the
gaokun_ucsi_register_worker() might be either currently executing
or still pending in the work queue. The already-freed gaokun_ucsi
or ucsi structure may then be accessed.
Furthermore, the race window is 3 seconds, which is sufficiently
long to make this bug easily reproducible. The following is the
trace captured by KASAN:
