CVE-2025-68804 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/chrome: cros_ec_ishtp: Fix UAF after unbinding driver After unbinding the driver, another kthread `cros_ec_console_log_work` is still accessing the device, resulting an UAF and crash. The driver doesn't unregister the EC device in .remove() which should shutdown sub-devices synchronously. Fix it.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's ChromeOS EC ISHTP driver. This issue arises after the driver is unbound, as a kernel thread continues to access the device, leading to a crash. The driver fails to properly unregister the EC device, which should deactivate sub-devices in a synchronized manner.
The vulnerability has been addressed in the Linux kernel. Users can apply the latest updates from the Linux kernel stable tree to mitigate this issue.
