Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43015)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After 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 a use-after-free in the macb PCI glue driver clock handling during device removal when unregistering the driver and triggering a runtime resume callback. A local user can unload the affected module to trigger a use-after-free and cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered during driver removal because a runtime resume callback may still access registered clock objects after the platform device has been unregistered.
