However, on driver\nremove/teardown, the generic chips are not automatically freed when the\nIRQ domain is removed because the domain flags do not include\nIRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC.\n\nThis causes both the domain generic chips structure and the associated\ngeneric chips to be leaked. Additionally, the generic chips remain on\nthe global gc_list and may later be visited by generic IRQ chip suspend,\nresume, or shutdown callbacks after the GPIO bank has been removed,\npotentially resulting in a use-after-free and kernel crash.\n\nFix the resource leak by explicitly calling\nirq_domain_remove_generic_chips() before removing the IRQ domain in\nrockchip_gpio_remove().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-401"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1c1e0fc88d6ef65bf15d517853251f75ab9d18c3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f34ea5f6114011092d9a5c8b901ad6741144a1d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50c7a6d2bf179588ba2daee97be93d19c96a94af","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6198123cac2ffd9d9a9d252dfa84ab81fb487ba3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bace7b99bfa555fe833aee8827b8004c43666d02"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53226","score":0.00119,"percentile":0.0174,"date":"2026-10-26"},"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).
