Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-99050)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/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 Linux kernel MPSSE GPIO driver when IRQ enabling races with USB device disconnection. A local user can trigger this race so that gpio_mpsse_disconnect() misses a poll worker scheduled before its addition to the worker list, allowing gpio_mpsse_poll() to access freed mpsse_priv memory and potentially cause a denial of service.
