UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90147: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: devres: fix cleanup in devmclkgetoptionalenabledwithrate() devmclkgetoptionalenabledwithrate() registers its cleanup action before setting the clock rate. If setting the rate fails, it attempts to disable and unprepare a clock that was never enabled. This issue was spotted while reviewing "rust: clk: add devres-managed clks" [1]. Register the cleanup action only after successfully preparing and enabling the clock. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20260706-clk-type-state-v5-3-67c5f326a16c@collabora.com

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
What condition must occur for this issue to be triggered?
A caller must use devm_clk_get_optional_enabled_with_rate() and the clock-rate setting operation must fail. In that failure path, the registered cleanup action can disable and unprepare a clock that was not successfully enabled.
Which Ubuntu kernel packages are identified as affected?
The listed packages are ubuntu/linux-riscv, ubuntu/linux-realtime, ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-azure-fde, ubuntu/linux-gke, and ubuntu/linux-aws-5.0.
