Moreover,\nwithin this pxafb_init_fbinfo function, the pxafb_blank function\nwithin the &pxafb_ops struct is capable of scheduling work.\n\nIf we remove the module which will call pxafb_remove to make cleanup,\nit will call unregister_framebuffer function which can call\ndo_unregister_framebuffer to free fbi->fb through\nput_fb_info(fb_info), while the work mentioned above will be used.\nThe sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:\n\nCPU0                                                CPU1\n\n                                   | pxafb_task\npxafb_remove                       |\nunregister_framebuffer(info)       |\ndo_unregister_framebuffer(fb_info) |\nput_fb_info(fb_info)               |\n// free fbi->fb                    | set_ctrlr_state(fbi, state)\n                                   | __pxafb_lcd_power(fbi, 0)\n                                   | fbi->lcd_power(on, &fbi->fb.var)\n                                   | //use fbi->fb\n\nFix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding\nwith the cleanup in pxafb_remove.\n\nNote that only root user can remove the driver at runtime.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c0d416eb4bef705f699213cee94bf54b6acdacd","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4a6921095eb04a900e0000da83d9475eb958e61e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4cda484e584be34d55ee17436ebf7ad11922b97a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d0a07f68b66269e167def6c0b90a219cd3e7473","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a3a855764dbacbdb1cc51e15dc588f2d21c93e0e"],"products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:56:33.105311382+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-49924","score":0.00249,"percentile":0.163,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
