CVE-2026-53156 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmem: core: fix use-after-free bugs in error paths Fix several instances of error paths in which we call __nvmem_device_put() - which may end up freeing the underlying memory and other resources - and then keep on using the nvmem structure. Always put the reference to the nvmem device as the last step before returning the error code.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been addressed in the Linux kernel's NVMEM core. This issue arose in several error handling paths where the function '__nvmem_device_put()' was called, potentially freeing the associated memory and resources, while the NVMEM structure was still in use. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed.
