CVE-2026-89585
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
auxdisplay: charlcd: cancel backlight work on registration failure
With CONFIG_CHARLCD_BL_FLASH, charlcd_init() schedules bl_work before charlcd_register() calls misc_register(). If registration fails, the caller frees the charlcd object while delayed work still contains its address.
Add charlcd_deinit() to cancel the delayed work and turn the backlight off. Use it for both registration rollback and normal unregistration.
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: 0.17%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 6
- 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).
