Overview

CVE-2026-93086 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

firmware: arm_scmi: Avoid IDR updates while cleaning channels

scmi_cleanup_channels() walks the TX/RX channel IDRs with

idr_for_each() to free transport resources and destroy the dedicated

transport devices before calling idr_destroy().

The destroy callback removed each entry from the same IDR being walked.

That is not needed for this cleanup path, and it is unsafe because

idr_for_each() has not advanced its radix-tree iterator while the

callback is running. Removing the current entry from the callback can

invalidate the iterator state. The callback also cannot be protected by

rcu_read_lock(), because scmi_device_destroy() may sleep.

Leave IDR teardown to the following idr_destroy() call and keep the

callback limited to device destruction.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-93086?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-93086 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
