CVE-2026-53226 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpio: rockchip: fix generic IRQ chip leak on remove The driver allocates domain generic chips using irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() during probe. However, on driver remove/teardown, the generic chips are not automatically freed when the IRQ domain is removed because the domain flags do not include IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC. This causes both the domain generic chips structure and the associated generic chips to be leaked. Additionally, the generic chips remain on the global gc_list and may later be visited by generic IRQ chip suspend, resume, or shutdown callbacks after the GPIO bank has been removed, potentially resulting in a use-after-free and kernel crash. Fix the resource leak by explicitly calling irq_domain_remove_generic_chips() before removing the IRQ domain in rockchip_gpio_remove().
A vulnerability exists in the Rockchip GPIO driver of the Linux kernel, where generic IRQ chips are not properly freed during the driver removal process. This issue arises because the IRQ domain flags do not include 'IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC', leading to a resource leak. The leaked generic chips can remain on a global list and may be accessed by suspend, resume, or shutdown callbacks, potentially causing a use-after-free error and crashing the kernel.
The vulnerability has been addressed by explicitly calling 'irq_domain_remove_generic_chips()' before removing the IRQ domain in the Rockchip GPIO removal function.
