CVE-2026-89797
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: ab8500_fg: fix use-after-free on remove ab8500_fg_remove() destroys the driver workqueue while the threaded interrupt handlers are still armed; they are devm-managed and freed only after ->remove() returns, so a handler that fires in that window queues work on the freed workqueue. Tear the workqueue down through devm instead, registering its cleanup after the power supply and before the interrupt requests. devm then frees the interrupts first, so the handlers can no longer queue work, before disabling the delayed and plain work items and destroying the workqueue. Disabling the items, rather than cancelling them, keeps them disabled so no producer (including the power-supply external_power_changed callback) can requeue them. Found by an in-house static analysis tool.

Affected products and versions
NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.
Remediation & validation
- Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
- Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
- Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
- Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.
No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
