Overview

CVE-2026-64468 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 25, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

Technical description

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

binder: fix UAF in binder_free_transaction()

In binder_free_transaction(), the t->to_proc is read under the t->lock.

However, once the t->lock is dropped, the to_proc can die in parallel.

This leads to a use-after-free error when we attempt to acquire its

inner lock right afterwards:
