CVE-2026-92491

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, scmi_protocol_table_register() can leave earlier requests registered when a later entry in the same ID table fails. Each request retains a pointer to the driver's ID table, so a failed module load can leave a dangling pointer after the module storage is released.

Risk Assessment

A failed module load can leave dangling pointers that may be dereferenced during later request matching or SCMI device creation, causing a kernel crash or undefined behavior.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that unrequests only the successfully registered prefix in reverse order before returning the failure.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: arm_scmi: Roll back partial protocol table registration scmi_protocol_table_register() can leave earlier requests registered when a later entry in the same ID table fails. Each request retains a pointer to the driver's ID table, so a failed module load can leave a dangling pointer after the module storage is released. Unrequest only the successfully registered prefix, in reverse order, before returning the failure. Leave the failed entry and the remaining entries untouched because matching requests can be owned by another driver.
