CVE-2026-23221
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: fsl-mc: fix use-after-free in driver_override_show()
The driver_override_show() function reads the driver_override string without holding the device_lock. However, driver_override_store() uses driver_set_override(), which modifies and frees the string while holding the device_lock.
This can result in a concurrent use-after-free if the string is freed by the store function while being read by the show function.
Fix this by holding the device_lock around the read operation.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.13%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 2
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
