CVE-2026-45906

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> power: supply: pf1550: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()<br /> <br /> Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_`<br /> variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means that<br /> the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the<br /> interrupt handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse<br /> allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race<br /> condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`<br /> handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding<br /> unregistration of the IRQ handler has run.<br /> <br /> This will lead to the IRQ handler calling `power_supply_changed()` with<br /> a freed `power_supply` handle. Which usually crashes the system or<br /> otherwise silently corrupts the memory...<br /> <br /> Note that there is a similar situation which can also happen during<br /> `probe()`; the possibility of an interrupt firing _before_ registering<br /> the `power_supply` handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation<br /> of using the `power_supply` handle *uninitialized* in<br /> `power_supply_changed()`.<br /> <br /> Fix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested _after_<br /> the registration of the `power_supply` handle.
