Once a buffer is\nenabled, conversion-complete IRQs keep firing and queueing it; a pending\nirq_work can therefore run after the unwind has freed atlas_data/indio_dev\nand the trigger, when atlas_work_handler() derives the atlas_data pointer\nvia container_of() and dereferences data->trig, a use-after-free.\n\nCall iio_trigger_poll_nested() directly from the threaded handler instead\nof bouncing through irq_work.  free_irq() then drains the threaded handler,\nclosing the window; other iio drivers with a threaded data-ready IRQ do the\nsame (e.g. bmi270).\n\nThis issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.","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/2071624c3d0f497ca91da78858e6f30d7112fea6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/30b0d44c978bbc857bd68b71dab371805653de70","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/91e12b0fbd7047d02bf4ef4dbc491b9ef0159250","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be61c8c6252671ecf1fee0ad90f87669e0be1e20","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f64b437641b5a70c18bb0fd38da2b69d8926c871"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:54:41.405518556+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-89938","score":0.0017,"percentile":0.0636,"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).
