Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ANX7411 USB Type-C driver. This flaw allows a Denial of Service (DoS) due to a race condition during device removal. Because an interrupt request (IRQ) remains active while the driver destroys its work queue, an incoming interrupt during teardown can trigger a system crash.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-18 15:53:30 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: typec: anx7411 - stop the IRQ before destroying the workqueue

The IRQ is devm-managed, so it can still queue plat->work while
remove() is tearing the queue down. Disable it first.
