Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-72384)
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 ts4800 irqchip chained interrupt handler when the parent interrupt fires after the driver has been removed. A local user can trigger the parent interrupt after driver removal to cause a denial of service.
The issue stems from the chained handler not being cleared during device removal, leaving a dangling handler reference.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
