Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-92521)

Summary

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-92521). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ACPI: PCI: Clear driver_data on all paths that free the acpi_pci_root

acpi_pci_root_add() assigns the freshly allocated root to
device->driver_data before dmar_device_add() and pci_acpi_scan_root().
Both failure paths reach the end: label where root is kfree()'d, but
only the pci_acpi_scan_root() path clears driver_data first.

When dmar_device_add() fails during a hot-add, root is freed while
device->driver_data still points at it. The ACPI core does not clear
driver_data on attach failure, so a later acpi_pci_find_root() call may
dereference this dangling pointer.

acpi_pci_root_remove() has the same problem: it frees root without
clearing device->driver_data, leaving a dangling pointer behind after
the root bridge is removed.

Move the NULL assignment to the shared end: label so every error path in
acpi_pci_root_add() clears driver_data before freeing root, and clear it
in acpi_pci_root_remove() as well, so the object is never left reachable
through driver_data after being freed.
