Subject: CVE-2023-53048: usb: typec: tcpm: fix warning when handle discover_identity message

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-53048 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
