Published: May 27, 2026· Updated: May 27, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: imx: fix use-after-free on unbind
The SPI subsystem frees the controller and any subsystem allocated
driver data as part of deregistration (unless the allocation is device
managed).
Take another reference before deregistering the controller so that the
driver data is not freed until the driver is done with it.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-45996 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
