Improper Initialization in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64500

Published: July 27, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU139444
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64500
CWE-ID: CWE-665
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization in lpc32xx_adc_probe() and the lpc32xx ADC interrupt handling path when handling a spurious interrupt during device probe before completion initialization. A local user can trigger a device state that causes an interrupt to arrive before init_completion() to cause a denial of service.

The issue can lead to a kernel panic through a NULL pointer dereference and resulting wild memory access in the interrupt wake-up path.
