About this tag
The cve 2026 64038 tag covers reporting on a Linux kernel security vulnerability in the lm90 hardware-monitoring driver. The flaw is a use-after-free race that can occur during device removal, driver unloading, or failed initialization when deferred alert-handling work continues after the associated hwmon device has been freed. Coverage explains how this issue can affect kernel stability and security, particularly around teardown ordering. The upstream fix stops pending work before removing the hwmon device and adds a shutdown state to prevent new work from being scheduled. This tag is relevant to Linux kernel security, hardware monitoring, driver maintenance, and vulnerability remediation.
