Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `cpcap-battery` power supply driver. A race condition exists during the removal of the `power_supply` handle, where an interrupt can fire after the handle is freed but before the interrupt handler is unregistered. This use-after-free vulnerability can lead to system crashes or silent memory corruption, potentially resulting in a denial of service or other unpredictable system behavior.
