DescriptionNVD

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.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel's nvmem core subsystem arises from use-after-free bugs in multiple error paths where __nvmem_device_put() releases the nvmem device (and its backing memory/resources) but the code continues to dereference the freed structure before returning. A local, low-privileged user able to trigger these error paths can corrupt kernel memory, potentially leading to code execution or information disclosure. Fix is upstream in stable kernel trees; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.17%).
