Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-28 11:00:52 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gpio: shared: fix use-after-free bug when adding shared proxies

The GPIO lookup table can stay alive for longer than the kobject whose
name string's address we're assigning to lookup->dev_id. Fix a potential
UAF by duplicating the string.
