Unspecified impact via stale MP2 callback dereference
Published Aug 28, 2026 · Updated Aug 28, 2026
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel allows attackers to cause unspecified impact after AMD MP2 adapter registration fails. amd_mp2_register_cb() saves the platform I2C context before i2c_add_adapter() succeeds, but a failed probe frees that context without clearing the PCI callback table. Reachability requires an AMD MP2 controller, an adapter-add failure, and a later IRQ or system-sleep callback; the source does not establish attacker control or a specific consequence beyond stale-pointer dereference.
