Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usb: ucsi: Fix NULL pointer deref in ucsi_connector_change()<br />
<br />
When ucsi_init() fails, ucsi->connector is NULL, yet in case of<br />
ucsi_acpi we may still get events which cause the ucs_acpi code to call<br />
ucsi_connector_change(), which then derefs the NULL ucsi->connector<br />
pointer.<br />
<br />
Fix this by not setting ucsi->ntfy inside ucsi_init() until ucsi_init()<br />
has succeeded, so that ucsi_connector_change() ignores the events<br />
because UCSI_ENABLE_NTFY_CONNECTOR_CHANGE is not set in the ntfy mask.
