CVE-2026-72482
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpib: fix double decrement of descriptor_busy in command_ioctl()
commit d1857f8296dc ('gpib: fix use-after-free in IO ioctl handlers')
introduced a descriptor_busy reference counter to pin struct
gpib_descriptor across IO ioctl operations. In command_ioctl(), the
error path inside the loop decrements descriptor_busy and breaks, but
execution then falls through to the unconditional decrement after the
loop, underflowing the counter to -1.
This re-enables the use-after-free that the original fix was meant to
prevent: a concurrent close_dev_ioctl() sees descriptor_busy == 0 on
an actively-used descriptor and frees it.
Remove the early decrement from the error path. The post-loop
decrement already handles all exit paths, matching the correct pattern
used in read_ioctl() and write_ioctl().
