Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-93092
Published: September 18, 2026
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a race condition in the SCMI driver.
The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization in requested-devices notifier handling when a SCMI device is being removed. A local user can cause a requested-devices notifier callback to race with active_protocols IDR teardown to cause a race condition in the SCMI driver.
