Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64251)
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 use-after-free in pwrseq_debugfs_seq_next() when iterating debugfs seq_file entries. A local user can trigger iteration of the affected debugfs interface to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because a device pointer returned to the seq_file framework has its reference dropped before subsequent use.
