CVE-2026-80923 in Linux
要約
〜によって MITRE • 2026年09月09日
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xhci: dbgtty: Fix unregister on tty_register_driver() failure
If tty_register_driver() fails, it drops the reference, but fails to set the global dbc_tty_driver to NULL, causing the unregister to be called again when module exits.
On module unload dbc_tty_exit() only gates its cleanup on the driver pointer being non-NULL, so it operates on the already-freed driver:
module_init(xhci_hcd_init) xhci_hcd_init() xhci_dbc_init() [return value ignored]
dbc_tty_init() tty_register_driver() fails tty_driver_kref_put() -> driver freed (dbc_tty_driver left dangling) ... module_exit(xhci_hcd_fini) xhci_hcd_fini() xhci_dbc_exit() dbc_tty_exit() if (dbc_tty_driver) -> true (dangling) tty_unregister_driver() -> use-after-free
Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
