Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-10-01 12:30 – Updated: 2026-01-16 21:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/chrome: cros_usbpd_notify: Fix error handling in cros_usbpd_notify_init()
The following WARNING message was given when rmmod cros_usbpd_notify:
Unexpected driver unregister! WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 253 at drivers/base/driver.c:270 driver_unregister+0x8a/0xb0 Modules linked in: cros_usbpd_notify(-) CPU: 0 PID: 253 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 6.1.0-rc3 #24 ...

The reason is that the cros_usbpd_notify_init() does not check the return value of platform_driver_register(), and the cros_usbpd_notify can install successfully even if platform_driver_register() failed.
Fix by checking the return value of platform_driver_register() and unregister cros_usbpd_notify_plat_driver when it failed.
