UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90406: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel package lines are identified for this issue?

The affected software list includes 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. No fixed or affected version ranges are provided.

Q: When does the vulnerable path occur?

The issue is in the Qualcomm Iris media driver's iris_core_deinit() cleanup path when pm_runtime_resume_and_get() fails during runtime power-management resume. The provided data does not describe an attacker-controlled trigger or a required access level.

Q: What behavior does the resolution introduce after a runtime PM resume failure?

It skips hardware power-off operations and the matching pm_runtime_put_sync() call when resume fails. Software teardown and the state transition still proceed, avoiding unbalanced runtime PM references.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: qcom: iris: handle runtime PM resume failure in core deinit Check the return value of pmruntimeresumeandget() in iriscoredeinit(). If runtime PM resume fails, skip hardware power-off operations but still perform software teardown and state transition. Also skip the corresponding pmruntimeputsync() call to avoid unbalanced runtime PM references.
