Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-43087)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-43087). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: mcp23s08: Disable all pin interrupts during probe
A chip being probed may have the interrupt-on-change feature enabled on
some of its pins, for example after a reboot. This can cause the chip to
generate interrupts for pins that don't have a registered nested handler,
which leads to a kernel crash such as below:
