Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:07:05 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mfd: cros_ec: Delay dev_set_drvdata() until probe success

If ec_device_probe() fails, cros_ec_class_release releases memory for the
cros_ec_dev structure. However, because the drvdata was already set,
sub-drivers like cros_ec_typec can still retrieve the stale pointer via the
platform device. This leads to a use-after-free when cros_ec_typec attempts
to access &typec->ec->ec->dev on a device that has already been released.
Move dev_set_drvdata() to ensure that the pointer is only made available
once all initialization steps have succeeded.
