Description
===========

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

rust_binder: clear freeze listener on node removal

Generally userspace is supposed to explicitly clear freeze listeners
before they drop the refcount on the node ref to zero, but there's
nothing forcing that. Currently, in this scenario the freeze listener
remains in the freeze_listeners rbtree and in the remote node's freeze
listener list, even though the ref for which the listener is registered
is gone. This could potentially lead to a memory leak due to a refcount
cycle. Thus, remove the freeze listener in this scenario.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64466 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
