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