Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31730)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to double free in fastrpc_init_create_static_process() and fastrpc_rpmsg_remove() when handling the INIT_CREATE_STATIC ioctl error path followed by rpmsg device removal or unbind. A local user can trigger the INIT_CREATE_STATIC ioctl error path and subsequently cause the rpmsg device to be removed or unbound to cause a denial of service.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
