CVE-2026-45909 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: mediatek: Drop __initconst from gates Since commit 8ceff24a754a ("clk: mediatek: clk-gate: Refactor mtk_clk_register_gate to use mtk_gate struct") the mtk_gate structs are no longer just used for initialization/registration, but also at runtime. So drop __initconst annotations.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's handling of Mediatek clock gates has been addressed. The issue arose because the 'mtk_gate' structures, which were previously only used for initialization and registration, began to be utilized at runtime as well. This change necessitated the removal of the 'initconst' annotations from certain clock gate definitions. The vulnerability was present in the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for downloading the patched version are available on the official Linux kernel website.
