Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93283)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93283). 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:
i3c: master: Fix device_register() error path
When device_register() fails in i3c_master_register_new_i3c_devs(),
put_device() is called to drop the reference taken by
device_register(). That drops the last reference, so the device's
release callback i3c_device_release() runs and frees the i3c_device.
Two problems follow from that:
i3c_device_release() does WARN_ON(i3cdev->desc), so it warns because
desc->dev->desc still points back at the descriptor. Clear it before
calling put_device().
After put_device() frees the i3c_device, desc->dev is left pointing at
freed memory, so clear desc->dev as well. That prevents, for example,
i3c_master_unregister_i3c_devs() seeing desc->dev as non-NULL and
dereferencing it.

CVE-2026-93283 (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.
