CVE-2026-64498

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Industrial I/O IIO subsystem, specifically within the hardware consumer buffer hw-consumer. Due to an oversight in memory management, a dedicated memory region scanmask was not properly released when its associated buffer was freed. A local attacker with low...

CVE-2026-64498

The CVE-2026-64498 issue affects the Linux kernel IIO subsystem (iio: buffer: hw-consumer). The root cause was a lifetime change for scan_mask: it moved to a separate bitmap allocation (buffer.scan_mask) but iio_hw_buf_release() remained unchanged, risking improper cleanup. The fix ensures the sc...
