📛 CVE Title
platform/chrome: cros_ec_typec: Init mutex in Thunderbolt registration
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/chrome: cros_ec_typec: Init mutex in Thunderbolt registration cros_typec_register_thunderbolt() missed initializing the `adata->lock` mutex. This leads to a NULL dereference when the mutex is later acquired (e.g. in cros_typec_altmode_work()). Initialize the mutex in cros_typec_register_thunderbolt() to fix the issue.

Applying the kernel fix , when available, is the only comprehensive remediation . Option 1: Admin-only scope Setting ptrace_scope to 2 restricts ptrace attach to processes with CAP_SYS_PTRACE. This blocks many currently known exploitation paths, but other paths that do not rely on ptrace may exist. This is suitable for most production environments.
