    CVE-2026-80923

    Summary:

    Details: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xhci: dbgtty: Fix unregister on tty_register_driver() failure If tty_register_driver() fails, it drops the reference, but fails to set the global dbc_tty_driver to NULL, causing the unregister to be called again when module exits. On module unload dbc_tty_exit() only gates its cleanup on the driver pointer being non-NULL, so it operates on the already-freed driver: module_init(xhci_hcd_init) xhci_hcd_init() xhci_dbc_init() [return value ignored] dbc_tty_init() tty_register_driver() fails tty_driver_kref_put() -> driver freed (dbc_tty_driver left dangling) ... module_exit(xhci_hcd_fini) xhci_hcd_fini() xhci_dbc_exit() dbc_tty_exit() if (dbc_tty_driver) -> true (dangling) tty_unregister_driver() -> use-after-free
