Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-93051

Vulnerability identifier: #VU151438

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93051

CWE-ID: CWE-416

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the Linux kernel ad525x_dpot driver's sysfs attribute handling when removing a device without removing its command sysfs attributes before freeing driver data. A local user can access command sysfs attributes that remain exposed after the driver data is freed to cause a denial of service.

The command sysfs attributes are exposed only for devices supporting the F_CMD_INC feature.
