CVE-2026-89797: power: supply: ab8500_fg: fix use-after-free on remove
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.
