CVE-2026-97604

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: vfb: defer cleanup until the last reference FBIOGETCMAP takes a shallow snapshot of info->cmap and performs the usercopy after dropping info->lock. vfb_remove() frees the colormap immediately after unregistering the framebuffer, even when an open file still holds a reference to fb_info. A concurrent driver unbind can therefore free the colormap while the ioctl copies it to userspace. KASAN reports: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _copy_to_user Read of size 512 by task poc/125 _copy_to_user (./include/linux/instrumented.h:129 ./include/linux/uaccess.h:201 lib/usercopy.c:24) fb_cmap_to_user (./include/linux/uaccess.h:230 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c:211) do_fb_ioctl (drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_chrdev.c:114) Allocated by task 1: fb_alloc_cmap_gfp (./include/linux/slab.h:973 ./include/linux/slab.h:1290 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c:108) vfb_probe (drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c:459) Freed by task 124: fb_dealloc_cmap (drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c:151) vfb_remove (drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c:489) unregister_framebuffer() drops the registration reference, and fbdev calls fb_destroy after the last put_fb_info(). Move the registered framebuffer's cleanup into an fb_destroy callback so its colormap and screen buffer stay alive until all file references have been released.
