UBUNTU-CVE-2026-93132: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: RISC-V: Fix riscvacpiaddprtdep() loop handling The loop in riscvacpiaddprtdep() includes error conditions that are handled in a dubious - if not outright wrong - way, by continuining the loop (which skips and misses the entry pointer update to point to the next entry). Rewrite the loop as a for loop (that handles the continuation correctly) and wrap the condition and update statements using helper functions to make it cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed 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.
What part of the kernel is involved?
The issue is in the Linux kernel ACPI support for RISC-V, specifically the riscv_acpi_add_prt_dep() loop handling.
What is the underlying failure condition?
Error handling can continue the loop without advancing the entry pointer to the next entry. This can cause entries to be skipped or missed.
