CVE-2026-92484

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the error path in find_pos_and_ways() releases its reference to a switch decoder before logging an error that includes the decoder name. If the released reference is the last one, the decoder can be freed before the error message accesses its name, leading to a use-after-free.

Risk Assessment

May lead to a kernel crash or potential kernel-context code execution when handling errors in the CXL region subsystem.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that drops the reference only after the error is reported.
