Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64362

Published: July 27, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU139612
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64362
CWE-ID: CWE-416
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the hid-lg-g15 driver work handling logic when a pending work item is triggered and the device is unplugged. An attacker with physical access can trigger a backlight cycle key event and disconnect the keyboard to cause a denial of service.

The issue is reachable as a race condition on device unplug for G15, G15 v2, and G510 models that initialize the work item.
