CVE-2024-40975

Local service interruption via provider-first device teardown

Published Jul 12, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026

Improper device teardown in affected Linux kernels allows local users to interrupt service by removing the x86 Android tablet driver. The x86_android_tablet_remove() path unregisters I2C regulator providers before their consumers, leaving referenced devices active and triggering a regulator-core WARN(). The condition is tied to driver teardown on Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 1380 hardware, where the bq24190 provider and lc824206xa consumer are I2C devices.
