A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `irqchip/ts4800` driver. The driver fails to properly clear a chained interrupt handler when it is removed. This oversight leaves a dangling handler that could be invoked if the parent interrupt fires after the driver has been unloaded. Such an event could lead to the system attempting to access freed memory, resulting in a kernel crash and a Denial of Service (DoS).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: irqchip/ts4800: Fix missing chained handler cleanup on remove The driver installs a chained handler for the parent interrupt during probe using irq_set_chained_handler_and_data(), but the remove function does not clear this handler. This leaves a dangling handler that may be called when the parent interrupt fires after the driver has been removed, potentially accessing freed memory and causing a kernel crash. Additionally, the parent_irq obtained via irq_of_parse_and_map() is not stored, making it inaccessible in the remove function. Moreover, interrupt mappings created during probe are not properly disposed. Fix this by: - Saving parent_irq in probe - Clearing the chained handler with NULL in ts4800_ic_remove() - Disposing all IRQ mappings before domain removal to prevent resource leaks
