It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-64038 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64038/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64038/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-64038","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64038/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-64038","record":{"aliases":["AZL-92718","BELL-CVE-2026-64038","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64038","GHSA-35qx-2fp8-64h3","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-64038","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64038"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel lm90 driver allows attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute code during device unbinding.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nhwmon: (lm90) Stop work before releasing hwmon device\n\nSashiko reports:\n\nIn lm90_probe(), the devm action to cancel the alert_work and report_work\n(lm90_restore_conf) is registered in lm90_init_client() before\ndevm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() is called.\n\nBecause devm executes cleanup actions in reverse order during module\nunbind or probe failure, the hwmon device is unregistered and freed first.\n\nIf lm90_alert_work() or lm90_report_alarms() runs in the window between\nthe hwmon device being freed and the delayed works being cancelled,\nlm90_update_alarms() will dereference the freed data-\u003ehwmon_dev here.\n\nFix the problem by canceling the workers separately after registering\nthe hwmon device and before registering the interrupt handler.
