CVE-2026-93069

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel OPP subsystem, the initialization order of pointers was changed so that *opp_table was initialized after *opp. This altered the cleanup function order and caused use-after-free errors when _opp_kref_release accessed the already freed opp->opp_table.

Risk Assessment

A use-after-free can corrupt kernel memory, crash the system, or potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that restores the correct initialization order of *opp_table before *opp.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: OPP: Fix cleanup ordering Commit 173e02d67494 ("OPP: Initialize scope-based pointers inline") added initialization for all pointers. In some cases, the ordering was changed so that *opp_table was initialized after *opp. This also changes the order of the registered cleanup functions. When the cleanup happens, this can cause use-after-free errors when the last reference is released and the release function _opp_kref_release tries to access the already freed opp->opp_table. Initialize *opp_table before *opp again to fix this and ensure the correct cleanup order.
