{"id":"AZL-102986","summary":"CVE-2026-92521 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nACPI: PCI: Clear driver_data on all paths that free the acpi_pci_root\n\nacpi_pci_root_add() assigns the freshly allocated root to\ndevice-\u003edriver_data before dmar_device_add() and pci_acpi_scan_root().\nBoth failure paths reach the end: label where root is kfree()'d, but\nonly the pci_acpi_scan_root() path clears driver_data first.\n\nWhen dmar_device_add() fails during a hot-add, root is freed while\ndevice-\u003edriver_data still points at it.  The ACPI core does not clear\ndriver_data on attach failure, so a later acpi_pci_find_root() call may\ndereference this dangling pointer.\n\nacpi_pci_root_remove() has the same problem: it frees root without\nclearing device-\u003edriver_data, leaving a dangling pointer behind after\nthe root bridge is removed.\n\nMove the NULL assignment to the shared end: label so every error path in\nacpi_pci_root_add() clears driver_data before freeing root, and clear it\nin acpi_pci_root_remove() as well, so the object is never left reachable\nthrough driver_data after being freed.","modified":"2026-09-18T14:15:15.818133158Z","published":"2026-09-17T17:17:55Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-92521"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-92521"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-102986.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
