Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-97512)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-97512). 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:
spi: spi-qcom-qspi: Fix incomplete error handling in runtime PM
The runtime PM functions had incomplete error handling that could leave the
system in an inconsistent state. If any operation failed midway through
suspend or resume, some resources would be left in the wrong state while
others were already changed, leading to potential clock/power imbalances.
Reorder the suspend/resume sequences to avoid brownout risk by ensuring the
performance state is set appropriately before clocks are enabled and clocks
are disabled before dropping the performance state.
Fix by adding proper error checking for all operations and using goto-based
cleanup to ensure all successfully acquired resources are properly released
on any error.

CVE-2026-97512 (Linux kernel)
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
