UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98956: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Published Oct 23, 2026
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: adau1372: allow sleepy powerdown GPIOs gpiodsetvalue() emits a WARN when the GPIO provider indicates that it can sleep, as is typical for I2C controlled GPIO expanders. Since the powerdown GPIO is only manipulated in process context, use the cansleep variant instead. This lets the driver use sleepy GPIOs to power off the chip.

    Linux kernel ASoC adau1372 driver powerdown GPIO API = gpiod_set_value_cansleep()

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which systems are most likely to encounter this issue?

Systems using the ADAU1372 ASoC driver with its powerdown control connected through a GPIO provider that can sleep, such as an I2C-controlled GPIO expander, are the relevant exposure scenario.

2

Does exploiting this require an unprivileged remote attacker?

The provided information does not describe a remote attack path or attacker-controlled input. It identifies a driver GPIO-handling problem that occurs when powering off the chip in process context.

3

What is the practical effect before the fix?

Using a sleep-capable GPIO for the driver's powerdown control causes gpiod_set_value() to emit a WARN. This can prevent the driver from using sleepy GPIOs to power off the chip.

4

What can be done if an updated kernel cannot be deployed immediately?

Avoid configuring the ADAU1372 powerdown control through a sleep-capable GPIO provider where possible. A directly controlled, non-sleeping GPIO avoids the described WARN condition.
