Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-89824

Vulnerability identifier: #VU150463

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89824

CWE-ID: CWE-772

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to cause a resource leak.

The vulnerability exists due to a missing release of an i2c adapter reference in the drm/panel-edp panel driver when handling probe failures or driver unbinding with a devicetree ddc-i2c-bus property referring to the auxiliary ddc bus. A local privileged user can cause a panel driver probe failure or unbind to cause a resource leak.
