Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-80766

Vulnerability identifier: #VU147161

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80766

CWE-ID: CWE-416

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to trigger a use-after-free condition.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the uclogic HID driver's in-range timer teardown when processing pen reports during device removal. An attacker with physical access can send pen reports during device removal to trigger a use-after-free condition.

The freed memory is dereferenced in timer-softirq context.
