kernel: fbcon: Set fb_display[i]->mode to NULL when the mode is released

A use-after-free vulnerability was identified in the Linux kernel framebuffer console fbcon subsystem. During framebuffer unregistration, the kernel freed the memory for a display mode but did not clear the corresponding fbdisplayi-mode pointer. Subsequent framebuffer ioctl operations could then...

CVE-2026-74424: Undefined Security Weakness

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbcon: fix NULL pointer dereference for a console without vcdata fbconnewmodelist runs when a framebuffer's modelist changes. For each console mapped to it with fbdisplayi.mode set, it reads vcconsi.d and passes the vcnum to...

CVE-2026-63826: Undefined Security Weakness

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: fix use-after-free in storemodes storemodes replaces a framebuffer's modelist with modes from userspace. On success it frees the old modelist with fbdestroymodelist. Two fields still point into that freed list. One pointer...

CVE-2025-40323

CVE-2025-40323: The issue affects the Linux kernel fbcon framebuffer handling. A use-after-free can occur because during framebuffer unregistration only fb_info->modelist memory is freed, while fb_display[i]->mode is not NULL’d for the freed modes. This can lead to dereferencing a freed poi...
