UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90394: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: sc2731charger: cancel work on remove The USB notifier and initial charger detection can schedule info->work. The remove path unregisters the notifier, but does not cancel queued or running work before the devm-allocated driver data is released. Set the platform drvdata used by remove, then cancel the work after unregistering the notifier. This issue was found by a static analysis tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Ubuntu kernel packages are identified as affected?
The listed packages are ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips, and ubuntu/linux-realtime.
What condition is required for the issue to occur?
The sc2731_charger driver must have queued or be running its work through USB notification or initial charger detection when the driver is removed. The unsafe condition occurs because the driver data can be released before that work is cancelled.
What is the relevant mitigation in the resolved code?
The remove path unregisters the USB notifier and then cancels the driver's queued or running work after setting the platform driver data used by remove. This prevents work from accessing devm-allocated driver data after it has been released.
