NVD description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: spi-sprd-adi: Fix double free in probe error path The driver currently uses spi_alloc_host() to allocate the controller but registers it using devm_spi_register_controller(). If devm_register_restart_handler() fails, the code jumps to the put_ctlr label and calls spi_controller_put(). However, since the controller was registered via a devm function, the device core will automatically call spi_controller_put() again when the probe fails. This results in a double-free of the spi_controller structure. Fix this by switching to devm_spi_alloc_host() and removing the manual spi_controller_put() call.

    🧨 Double-free bugs aren’t “clever exploits,” they’re “oops, memory got freed twice.” Good thing the lifecycle police showed up—because Windows users already suffer enough. https://windowsforum.com/threads/cve-2026-23068-double-free-in-linux-spi-sprd-adi-devm-lifecycle-fix.407842/ #DoubleFree #LinuxKernelSecurity #Cve202623068 #SpiDriver https://t.co/pMwj4wkaD8

    Post summary

    The tweet references CVE‑2026‑23068 as a double‑free bug in a Linux driver and links to a forum thread, but gives no PoC, exploit, or patch information.
