Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74519)

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double 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 double free in dt_remember_or_free_map() and dt_free_map() in the pinctrl devicetree code when handling a failed dev_name duplication during map initialization. A local attacker can trigger a memory allocation failure during device binding to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation was demonstrated with failslab injection while binding a pinctrl-consuming device.
