In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: typec: tcpm: fix warning when handle discover_identity message

Since both source and sink device can send discover_identity message in PD3, kernel may dump below warning:

Below sequences may trigger this warning:

tcpm_send_discover_work(work) tcpm_send_vdm(port, USB_SID_PD, CMD_DISCOVER_IDENT, NULL, 0); tcpm_queue_vdm(port, header, data, count); port->vdm_state = VDM_STATE_READY;

vdm_state_machine_work(work); <-- received discover_identity from partner vdm_run_state_machine(port); port->vdm_state = VDM_STATE_SEND_MESSAGE; mod_vdm_delayed_work(port, x);

tcpm_pd_rx_handler(work); tcpm_pd_data_request(port, msg); tcpm_handle_vdm_request(port, msg->payload, cnt); tcpm_queue_vdm(port, response[0], &response[1], rlen - 1); --> WARN_ON(port->vdm_state > VDM_STATE_DONE);

For this case, the state machine could still send out discover identity message later if we skip current discover_identity message. So we should handle the received message firstly and override the pending discover_identity message without warning in this case. Then, a delayed send_discover work will send discover_identity message again.
