CVE-2026-64171 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: tegra: fix pm_runtime leak on mutex_lock failure If tegra_i2c_mutex_lock() fails, the function returns without calling pm_runtime_put(), leaking the runtime PM reference acquired by the preceding pm_runtime_get_sync(). This prevents the device from ever entering runtime suspend. Add the missing pm_runtime_put() before returning on lock failure.
A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's Tegra I2C driver, where a failure to acquire a mutex lock leads to a leak of the runtime power management reference. This leak occurs because the function does not release the reference after a lock failure, preventing the device from entering a low-power suspend state. The issue has been addressed by adding the missing reference release before returning from the function on lock failure.
Users can apply the latest patch available in the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability.
