UBUNTU-CVE-2026-99034: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: Which systems are potentially affected?

The issue applies to Ubuntu systems using one of the listed kernel packages: linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-azure-fde, linux-gcp, linux-oracle, linux-raspi, or linux-realtime, where the sdhci-sprd driver is in use.

Q: When can the issue be triggered?

It is associated with removal of an sdhci-sprd device after runtime power management has been enabled. The problematic condition is most relevant when the device is runtime suspended and its clocks have already been disabled by runtime PM callbacks.

Q: What does the fix change?

The corrected removal path resumes the device, disables runtime PM, releases the temporary runtime PM reference, and only then disables the clocks. This prevents the normal remove path from directly disabling clocks that runtime PM may already have disabled.

Published Oct 23, 2026

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: sdhci-sprd: disable runtime PM on remove sdhcisprdprobe() enables runtime PM, while sdhcisprdremove() does not perform the corresponding runtime PM cleanup. The probe failure path disables runtime PM before disabling the clocks, but the normal remove path directly disables clocks that are also managed by the runtime PM callbacks. If the device is runtime suspended, those clocks may already be disabled. Resume the device before removal, disable runtime PM and drop the temporary runtime PM reference before disabling the clocks. This issue was found by manual code inspection.
