Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68214)

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 rtl2832_remove() when removing a device while concurrent I2C transfers are still in flight through the mux adapter. A local user can trigger device removal during concurrent I2C activity to cause a denial of service.

The issue arises because delayed work may be rescheduled after cancellation by a concurrent thread during device teardown.
