About this tag
The use-after-free crash tag covers discussion of kernel-level memory lifetime bugs that can appear after driver resources are removed or released. Its current coverage centers on CVE-2026-53226, a Linux kernel vulnerability in the Rockchip GPIO driver. The issue involves generic IRQ chip structures leaking during device removal and potentially causing later use-after-free crashes in kernel power-management callbacks. This makes driver teardown paths an important security consideration for embedded Linux systems and vendors. The tag is useful for readers tracking low-level crash risks, vulnerability details, and the relationship between resource cleanup and kernel stability.

    CVE-2026-53226 Rockchip GPIO Bug: IRQ Chip Leak, Use-After-Free Risk

    CVE-2026-53226 is a newly published Linux kernel vulnerability, added to NVD on June 25, 2026, in the Rockchip GPIO driver, where generic IRQ chip structures can leak during device removal and later trigger use-after-free crashes during kernel power-management callbacks. The bug is narrow, but...
