Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93091)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93091). 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:
firmware: arm_scmi: Quiesce notifications before teardown
scmi_notification_exit() clears and releases the notification instance,
but transport callbacks can still deliver incoming notifications until
the TX/RX channels are freed. During remove, an RX interrupt in that
window can enter scmi_notify() while notification state is being torn
down and then dereference freed memory. The same ordering exists on the
probe error path after notification initialization.
The notification late-init worker has a separate lifetime issue: protocol
event registration queues ni->init_work on the system workqueue, so
destroying ni->notify_wq does not drain that work. If the devres group is
released while init_work is still pending or running, the late-init worker
can dereference the freed notification instance.
Quiesce the notification core before TX/RX channels are torn down, then
clean up the channels before releasing the notification core resources.
Use disable_work_sync() so future late-init queueing is rejected and any
already queued or running late-init work has completed before channel
teardown starts.

CVE-2026-93091 (Linux kernel)
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
