In that case, dbitmap_grow() fails and frees the old bitmap\nvia dbitmap_free(). However, the driver calls dbitmap_free() again when\nthe same process terminates, leading to a double-free error:\n\n  ==================================================================\n  BUG: KASAN: double-free in binder_proc_dec_tmpref+0x2e0/0x55c\n  Free of addr ffff00000b7c1420 by task kworker/9:1/209\n\n  CPU: 9 UID: 0 PID: 209 Comm: kworker/9:1 Not tainted 6.17.0-rc6-dirty #5 PREEMPT\n  Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT)\n  Workqueue: events binder_deferred_func\n  Call trace:\n   kfree+0x164/0x31c\n   binder_proc_dec_tmpref+0x2e0/0x55c\n   binder_deferred_func+0xc24/0x1120\n   process_one_work+0x520/0xba4\n  [...]\n\n  Allocated by task 448:\n   __kmalloc_noprof+0x178/0x3c0\n   bitmap_zalloc+0x24/0x30\n   binder_open+0x14c/0xc10\n  [...]\n\n  Freed by task 449:\n   kfree+0x184/0x31c\n   binder_inc_ref_for_node+0xb44/0xe44\n   binder_transaction+0x29b4/0x7fbc\n   binder_thread_write+0x1708/0x442c\n   binder_ioctl+0x1b50/0x2900\n  [...]\n  ==================================================================\n\nFix this issue by marking proc->map NULL in dbitmap_free().","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":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0390633979969c54c0ce6a198d6f45cdbe2c84b1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3ebcd3460cad351f198c39c6edb4af519a0ed934","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b781e5635a3398e2b64440371233c2c5102cd6cb","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c301ec61ce6f16e21a36b99225ca8a20c1591e10"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-40028","score":0.00154,"percentile":0.04457,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
