Overview

CVE-2026-72384 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical description

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

irqchip/ts4800: Fix missing chained handler cleanup on remove

The driver installs a chained handler for the parent interrupt during probe

using irq_set_chained_handler_and_data(), but the remove function does not

clear this handler. This leaves a dangling handler that may be called when

the parent interrupt fires after the driver has been removed, potentially

accessing freed memory and causing a kernel crash.

Additionally, the parent_irq obtained via irq_of_parse_and_map() is not

stored, making it inaccessible in the remove function. Moreover, interrupt

mappings created during probe are not properly disposed.

Fix this by:

- Saving parent_irq in probe

- Clearing the chained handler with NULL in ts4800_ic_remove()

- Disposing all IRQ mappings before domain removal to prevent resource

leaks

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-72384?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-72384 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
