This ensures\nthat the workers are canceled after interrupts are disabled and before\nthe hwmon device is released. Add \"shutdown\" flag to indicate that device\nshutdown is in progress to prevent workers from being re-armed.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":4.7},"cwes":["CWE-362"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1fe96176636cb17906680c098688b144bd9c1c45","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/479e297526aeb19c745eac5c1897f455f83dc5f8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5c116abf208dd97c4ceb76c5c50c9bc34a017796","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b09a45601094c7f4ec4db8090b825fa61e169d93","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c98107817b0f6cdf51adc5e84e75c39ee25d8b28"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64038","score":0.00089,"percentile":0.00393,"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).
