CVE-2026-89468 — power: supply: lp8788-charger: fix use-after-free on remove

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: lp8788-charger: fix use-after-free on remove lp8788_charger_remove() flushes charger_work before unregistering the IRQs. An IRQ thread can queue charger_work after flush_work() has returned. The work can then run after devres frees pchg and dereference it in lp8788_charger_event(). Unregister the IRQs first. free_irq() waits for any running threaded handler, so no handler can queue more work afterwards. Then use cancel_work_sync() to cancel pending work or wait for running work to finish. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+1

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-89468 is "power: supply: lp8788-charger: fix use-after-free on remove", rated Unknown. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. EPSS 0.17% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
