The worker obtains the state with container_of() and\ndereferences it, so it must not outlive the state.\n\nnetup_ci_init() queues the initial status read, and CI GPIO interrupts\nsubsequently queue the same work from netup_ci_slot_status(). During\nremove, cx23885_finidev() calls free_irq() before the CI device is\nunregistered. free_irq() prevents further IRQ handlers from running,\nbut does not drain work queued previously, so the worker can run after\nnetup_ci_exit() frees the state.\n\nCall cancel_work_sync() before dvb_ca_en50221_release() and kfree().\n\nThis issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":43,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":42.9,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":205162,"id":"CVE-2026-89893","ts":1789570705531,"field":"cvss","old":null,"new":"7.8"},{"seq":205161,"id":"CVE-2026-89893","ts":1789570705531,"field":"severity","old":"none","new":"high"}]}
