Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-22 16:16 - Updated: 2026-08-25 06:18

Severity

8.4 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/ism: Fix UAF of sba and ieq during ism_dev_exit() A ism interrupt handler can be active in parallel with ism_dev_exit(), accessing freed data structures. No new interrupts will be generated after unregister_ieq(). Drain ongoing interrupt handlers by free_irq(), before freeing ism data structures.
