Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80642)
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 the liveupdate incoming FLB data handling when subsystems retain incoming FLB data for extended use during a live update. A local user can trigger access to freed FLB data to cause a denial of service.
The issue can arise during device enumeration while incoming File-Lifecycle-Bound data is being held beyond its initial retrieval.
