CVE-2026-72314: regulator: core: regulator_lock_two() should test for EDEADLK not EDEADLOCK

Q: What is the severity of CVE-2026-72314?

The severity of CVE-2026-72314 is rated as 22.

Q: How do I fix CVE-2026-72314?

To fix CVE-2026-72314, update to the patched version of the Linux kernel that addresses the incorrect deadlock test.

Q: What does CVE-2026-72314 affect?

CVE-2026-72314 affects the Linux kernel, specifically the regulator core and its deadlock handling.

Q: Is CVE-2026-72314 a local or remote vulnerability?

CVE-2026-72314 is considered a local vulnerability since it affects kernel-level operations.

Q: How can I determine if I am impacted by CVE-2026-72314?

You can determine if you are impacted by CVE-2026-72314 by checking the version of the Linux kernel you are running against the vulnerability's details.

Published Aug 15, 2026

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

regulator: core: regulatorlocktwo() should test for EDEADLK not EDEADLOCK

Compare against -EDEADLK, which is what wwmutexlock() actually returns and what every other deadlock check in this file already uses.

Function regulatorlocktwo() acquires two regulators via regulatorlocknested() -> wwmutexlock(). On contention, wwmutexlock() returns -EDEADLK, which is the caller's signal to drop the lock it holds and retry the acquisition in the canonical order.

However, regulatorlocktwo() tests the return value against -EDEADLOCK rather than -EDEADLK. On most architectures, EDEADLK and EDEADLOCK are the same value, so the comparison happens to be correct and the bug is invisible. But on MIPS, SPARC, and PowerPC, those two errors have different values. The test is wrong: a genuine -EDEADLK backoff no longer matches -EDEADLOCK, so instead of unlocking and retrying, the code falls into WARNON(ret) and returns with only one of the two regulators locked.

In practice, this is a bug only on MIPS, because the regulator core is not built or used on the other two platforms.

In general, EDEADLK is preferred over EDEADLOCK for new code.

Compensating control
