CVE-2026-26399

After the function returns, interrupt service routines may dereference this dangling pointer, resulting in memory corruption.

MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 0.18%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.18%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A stack-use-after-return issue exists in the Arduino_Core_STM32 library prior to version 1.7.0. The pwm_start() function allocates a TIM_HandleTypeDef structure on the stack and passes its address to HAL initialization routines, where it is stored in a global timer handle registry. After the function returns, interrupt service routines may dereference this dangling pointer, resulting in memory corruption.
