{"id":"AZL-74354","summary":"CVE-2025-71073 affecting package kernel 6.6.126.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nInput: lkkbd - disable pending work before freeing device\n\nlkkbd_interrupt() schedules lk-\u003etq via schedule_work(), and the work\nhandler lkkbd_reinit() dereferences the lkkbd structure and its\nserio/input_dev fields.\n\nlkkbd_disconnect() and error paths in lkkbd_connect() free the lkkbd\nstructure without preventing the reinit work from being queued again\nuntil serio_close() returns. This can allow the work handler to run\nafter the structure has been freed, leading to a potential use-after-free.\n\nUse disable_work_sync() instead of cancel_work_sync() to ensure the\nreinit work cannot be re-queued, and call it both in lkkbd_disconnect()\nand in lkkbd_connect() error paths after serio_open().","modified":"2026-04-01T05:22:22.495515Z","published":"2026-01-13T16:16:06Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-71073"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-71073"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.126.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-74354.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
