Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89893)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to read or modify sensitive information and cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the NetUP CI status work handling in drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cimax2.c when tearing down a NetUP CI device while CI status work is pending or running. A local user can trigger device teardown while the queued status worker can still access freed state to read or modify sensitive information and cause a denial of service.
