Overview

CVE-2026-72324 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical description

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

gpio: mvebu: free generic chips on unbind

irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() allocates generic chip data that must

be freed via irq_domain_remove_generic_chips(). The devres action

mvebu_gpio_remove_irq_domain() only called irq_domain_remove(), which

only frees the generic chips if IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC is set.

Call irq_domain_remove_generic_chips() explicitly before

irq_domain_remove() instead.
