{"cve":"CVE-2026-80952","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-11T20:19:00.927","modified":"2026-10-19T09:17:26.600","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ni3c: master: Fix info leak and UAF in device unregister path\n\ni3c_master_unregister_i3c_devs() clears i3cdev->dev->desc before\ncalling device_unregister().  During device_unregister(),\ndevice_del() emits a KOBJ_REMOVE uevent and unbinds the driver while\nthe device descriptor is still expected to be valid.  As a result,\ni3c_device_uevent() and a racing modalias_show() can observe a NULL\ndesc and fall back to an uninitialized stack struct i3c_device_info,\nleaking kernel stack contents in the generated modalias.  Driver\n.remove() callbacks may also encounter an unexpected NULL desc during\nunbind.\n\nKeep desc valid until device_unregister() has completed.  Since\ndevice_unregister() drops the device reference and may free the device,\ntake an extra reference with get_device() before unregistering.  Clear\ndesc afterwards and release the extra reference with put_device().\nThis preserves the release-time invariant that desc must be NULL while\navoiding both the information leak and a potential use-after-free from\nwriting desc after the device has been released.","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/109995153898454c7795c2c299fd0a0b57456a4b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/334cfb5e285cece5dc49fb3fb8ea9b70b2cb5d7e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4837be0f9ac2efe5e83b35a696b6242c473d280c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/94fb9786d67a8f8b899e77381620f86bad94fdf7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c16b6f25e0cc2dd1055dde1256cbf5a9e888cf49"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80952","score":0.00126,"percentile":0.02238,"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).
