From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: adc: ti-ads1119: fix PM reference leak in buffer preenable ads1119_triggered_buffer_preenable() resumes the device with pm_runtime_resume_and_get() before starting a conversion. If i2c_smbus_write_byte() fails, the function returns the error directly and leaves the runtime PM usage counter elevated. The matching postdisable callback is not called when preenable fails, so the reference is leaked and the device may remain runtime-active indefinitely. Store the I2C transfer result in ret and drop the runtime PM reference on failure before returning the error. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64499 to this issue. Affected and fixed versions =========================== Issue introduced in 6.11 with commit a9306887eba41c5fe7232727a8147da3d3c4f83c and fixed in 6.12.96 with commit f40292fb19399a3c3f82de698023ba87c01e66cf Issue introduced in 6.11 with commit a9306887eba41c5fe7232727a8147da3d3c4f83c and fixed in 6.18.39 with commit ffb2195921c3d629194b9807de589578df9f9cb8 Issue introduced in 6.11 with commit a9306887eba41c5fe7232727a8147da3d3c4f83c and fixed in 7.1.4 with commit 6537f08100189d12bec4975000244e6ac4873c28 Issue introduced in 6.11 with commit a9306887eba41c5fe7232727a8147da3d3c4f83c and fixed in 7.2-rc3 with commit adf4bc07f814da8329278d32600147f5a150938c Please see https://www.kernel.org for a full list of currently supported kernel versions by the kernel community. Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to older supported kernel versions. The official CVE entry at https://cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2026-64499 will be updated if fixes are backported, please check that for the most up to date information about this issue. Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/iio/adc/ti-ads1119.c 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: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f40292fb19399a3c3f82de698023ba87c01e66cf https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ffb2195921c3d629194b9807de589578df9f9cb8 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6537f08100189d12bec4975000244e6ac4873c28 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/adf4bc07f814da8329278d32600147f5a150938c
