CVE-2026-31527: driver core: platform: use generic driver_override infrastructure

Published Apr 22, 2026
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

driver core: platform: use generic driveroverride infrastructure

When a driver is probed through driverattach(), the bus' match() callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the driveroverride field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.

Fix this by using the driver-core driveroverride infrastructure taking care of proper locking internally.

Note that calling match() from driverattach() without the device lock held is intentional. [1]
