UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98679: Low severity ubuntu/linux-aws vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: accel: kxcjk-1013: reject duplicate event disable The IIO core does not filter duplicate writes to the event enable attribute. kxcjk1013writeeventconfig() already ignores repeated enable requests, but a repeated disable request still calls kxcjk1013setpowerstate(data, false), dropping a runtime PM reference that was not acquired for this request. This can underflow the runtime PM usage count and trigger a "Runtime PM usage count underflow" warning. Return early when the requested state already matches evenablestate.

Remediation
Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.
- Configuration
Return early when the requested event enable state already matches ev_enable_state, so duplicate event disable requests do not call kxcjk1013_set_power_state(data, false) or underflow the runtime PM usage count.
Linux kernel IIO accel kxcjk-1013 event enable state = requested state must match ev_enable_state before proceeding
