CVE-2024-35790

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> usb: typec: altmodes/displayport: create sysfs nodes as driver&amp;#39;s default device attribute group<br /> <br /> The DisplayPort driver&amp;#39;s sysfs nodes may be present to the userspace before<br /> typec_altmode_set_drvdata() completes in dp_altmode_probe. This means that<br /> a sysfs read can trigger a NULL pointer error by deferencing dp-&gt;hpd in<br /> hpd_show or dp-&gt;lock in pin_assignment_show, as dev_get_drvdata() returns<br /> NULL in those cases.<br /> <br /> Remove manual sysfs node creation in favor of adding attribute group as<br /> default for devices bound to the driver. The ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() macro is<br /> not used here otherwise the path to the sysfs nodes is no longer compliant<br /> with the ABI.
