In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

pds_core: fix use-after-free on workqueue during remove

In pdsc_remove(), the workqueue is destroyed before pdsc_teardown() is called. This ordering allows two paths to queue work on the destroyed workqueue:

  • If pdsc_teardown() -> pdsc_devcmd_reset() times out, the error
path in pdsc_devcmd_locked() queues health_work.
  • A NotifyQ event can trigger the ISR and queue work before free_irq()
is called in pdsc_teardown().

Fix by moving destroy_workqueue() after pdsc_teardown() so the workqueue outlives every queuer; destroy_workqueue() then flushes any work still pending.

Draining the queued work also requires ordering the teardown so the resources that work touches are freed last:

  • In pdsc_qcq_free(), after freeing the interrupt, cancel_work_sync()
the queue's work and only then clear qcq->intx, so pdsc_process_adminq()'s read of qcq->intx for interrupt-credit return cannot race with the clear.
  • Free adminqcq before notifyqcq: the shared adminq ISR is released
when adminqcq is freed, and the adminq work accesses notifyqcq, so both must be stopped before notifyqcq is freed.

Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer.

Data Freshness Timeline

(refreshed 8× in last 7d / 43× in last 30d)

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.

A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. 1 repeat row among the latest 92 is merged into the row it repeats.
