CVE-2026-98855

Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: of/overlay: put property on deadprops only after changeset add succeeds add_changeset_property() links a new property of a not-yet-live target node into the node's deadprops list before handing it to of_changeset_add_property(). If that fails, the error path frees the property but leaves the freed pointer linked in deadprops, and of_node_release() frees it a second time when the aborted overlay's node is released. Record the changeset entry first and link the property into deadprops only on success. of_changeset_add_property() never looks at the node's property lists, so the order of the two steps is otherwise immaterial, and the error path frees a property that nothing references.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Device Tree overlay subsystem. When an error occurs while adding a property to a device tree overlay changeset, the allocated property is freed during error cleanup but remains tracked, leading to a second release (double-free) when the overlay node is torn down. A local user could exploit this vulnerability to trigger memory corruption, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) or privilege escalation.
