Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64420)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the cros_ec device probe handling in drivers/mfd/cros_ec_dev.c when sub-drivers access platform device drvdata after probe failure. A local user can trigger a failed probe and subsequent access to a stale pointer to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because the stale drvdata pointer remains accessible to sub-drivers such as cros_ec_typec after the underlying cros_ec_dev structure has already been released.
