Since i2c_get_adapter() takes another\nreference to the adapter, deregistration hangs indefinitely while\nwaiting for the reference to be released.\n\nFix this by only destroying adapters allocated during LVDS init on\nerrors.","published":"2026-06-26T20:17:19.000Z","lastModified":"2026-07-08T03:58:27.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00162,"percentile":0.05387,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.16%).
