Overview
CVE-2026-92482 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.
Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: mediatek: use devm_gpiochip_add_data() for GPIO chip
The gpio_chip is allocated with device-managed memory but registered with
the non-managed gpiochip_add_data(). This was harmless while the drivers
were built-in, but once they can be built as modules and unbound/rmmod'd,
devm frees the gpio_chip's memory while it is still registered, causing a
use-after-free.
Register it with devm_gpiochip_add_data() so it shares the same
device-managed lifecycle, which also lets the manual gpiochip_remove()
error paths go away.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-92482?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-92482 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.
