About this tag
CVE-2026-31489 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the meson-spicc SPI controller driver, caused by a reference-counting double-put error during driver teardown. The driver uses devm_spi_register_controller, which automatically drops the controller reference on cleanup, but the remove function also calls spi_controller_put, leading to a double-put. This bug can cause system instability, crashes, or memory corruption when the driver is unloaded, reprobed, or during suspend/resume cycles. Discussions on WindowsForum cover the technical details, impact, and potential fixes for this CVE, which affects Linux systems using the meson-spicc driver.
