{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-74461","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: imx: Cancel hrtimer before clearing slave pointer In i2c_imx_unreg_slave(), the slave pointer is set to NULL after disabling interrupts. However, a pending interrupt might already have started the hrtimer (i2c_imx_slave_timeout) before the pointer was cleared. If the hrtimer fires after i2c_imx->slave is set to NULL, the timer callback i2c_imx_slave_finish_op() will call i2c_imx_slave_event() with a NULL slave pointer, which results in a use-after-free / NULL pointer dereference. Fix by canceling the hrtimer and waiting for it to complete after disabling interrupts, before clearing the slave pointer.","publishedAt":"2026-08-15T13:17:50","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-19T17:21:03","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-74461","cvssScore":8.4,"cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","epssProbability":0.00138,"riskScore":0.85,"affectedProduct":"Linux kernel","affectedVersions":"unknown","vulnerabilityType":"Kernel","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-74461","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-74461","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-74461","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-74461","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-74461","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-74461","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-74461","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-74461"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-74461"}}
