🛡️ CVE-2026-45916 on Debian — linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: sbs-battery: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed() Using the devm_ variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the devm_ variant for allocating/registering the power_supply handle, means that the power_supply handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the interrupt handler (since devm_ naturally deallocates in reverse allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the power_supply handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding unregistration of the IRQ handler has run. This will lead to the IRQ handler calling power_supply_changed() with a freed power_supply handle. Which usually crashes the system or otherwise silently corrupts the memory... Note that there is a similar situation which can also happen during probe(); the possibility of an interrupt firing _before_ registering the power_supply handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation of using the power_supply handle *uninitialized* in power_supply_changed(). Fix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested _after_ the registration of the power_supply handle. Keep the old behavior of just printing a warning in case of any failures during the IRQ request and finishing the probe successfully.
