Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64510)

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 attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the ACPI NFIT core when handling a subsequent ACPI Machine Check Exception after a failed or incomplete NFIT initialization and shutdown path. A local attacker can trigger the vulnerable initialization state to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because a freed acpi_desc object may remain referenced in the acpi_descs list and later be accessed by nfit_handle_mce().
