Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93042)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a use-after-free condition.

The vulnerability exists due to improper descriptor termination in the dw-edma DMA engine driver when terminating DMA transfers. A local user can invoke dmaengine_terminate_sync() during a deferred STOP, allowing a late callback to dereference freed client state to trigger a use-after-free condition.

A pending STOP may remain unresolved until the running transfer generates an interrupt.
