From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

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

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

spi: qup: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure

The driver falls back to PIO mode if DMA setup fails during probe.

Make sure to the clear the DMA channel pointers on setup failure to
avoid dereferencing an error pointer (or attempting to release a channel
a second time) on later probe errors or driver unbind.

This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a devres allocation
conversion patch.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64170 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:
