Vulnerability description
DayBreach CVE AI Research
CVE-2026-93054 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uio: Fix stale info pointer in failed registration path After device_add(), the UIO device is visible to userspace and /dev/uioX can be opened. If a later setup step fails, __uio_register_device() unwinds the device but leaves idev->info pointing at the caller-owned struct uio_info. That is unsafe when an opener races with the failed registration path. The open file keeps a reference to the uio_device, while the caller sees registration failure and may free its struct uio_info. Later file operations can then follow idev->info and dereference freed memory. Handle post-device_add() failures like unregister: remove UIO attributes while the info pointer is still valid, then clear idev->info under info_lock and wake existing waiters/async users before removing the device and minor. This makes already-open file descriptors observe the same "device gone" state as normal uio_unregister_device().
