CVE-2025-21856
HIGHLinux Kernel 6.3-6.6.79, 6.7-6.12.16, 6.13-6.13.4 - Use-After-Free in s390/ism Device Release
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/ism: add release function for struct device According to device_release() in /drivers/base/core.c, a device without a release function is a broken device and must be fixed. The current code directly frees the device after calling device_add() without waiting for other kernel parts to release their references. Thus, a reference could still be held to a struct device, e.g., by sysfs, leading to potential use-after-free issues if a proper release function is not set.
