Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A potential use-after-free issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the intel-ish-hid ipc component. This issue occurs when a reset notify IPC message is received, and the ISR schedules a work function, passing the ISHTP device via a global pointer. If the ish probe() function fails, the device resources, including the ishtp dev pointer, are freed, but the work is not cancelled, leading to a use-after-free when the work function attempts to access ishtp dev. The issue is resolved by using devm work autocancel() to automatically cancel the work if the probe fails.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
