What is CVE-2026-64279?
A race condition vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's i2c core subsystem during adapter deregistration. It can lead to a use-after-free scenario if i2c_get_adapter() accesses the adapter concurrently while it is being torn down. Affected systems should apply the latest kernel updates.
