CVE-2024-36899 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel GPIO character-device subsystem, in the gpiolib cdev lineinfo_changed_notify notification path. During gpio_chrdev_release(), the watched_lines bitmap can be freed before lineinfo_changed_nb is unregistered. If concurrent GPIO-line release processing holds the notifier chain read lock and invokes lineinfo_changed_notify while notifier unregistration is waiting for the write lock, the notification handler can access the freed watched_lines bitmap.
