Summary
A bug was fixed in the Linux kernel's crypto: caam driver that caused a crash during suspend on iMX8QM and iMX8ULP SoCs. On these SoCs, register page 0 is managed by another core (SECO or Secure Enclave), so accessing it during suspend triggered a synchronous external abort. A new state variable no_page0 was introduced to detect this situation and avoid touching the reserved page.
Risk Assessment
Organizations using hardware with iMX8QM or iMX8ULP may experience kernel crashes during suspend, leading to system unavailability and potential data loss.
Recommendation
Update the Linux kernel to a version containing this fix, especially on devices with iMX8QM or iMX8ULP SoCs.
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel
See all- CVE-2026-99259Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the soc/tegra: pmc driver has an uninitialised early_pmc->rate variable for legacy 32-bit Tegra devices. The variable is never configured and remains 0, triggering a warning in tegra_pmc_enter_suspend_mode(). The issue appeared after the PMC driver was changed to create the PMC context dynamically, updating rate only in the new context.
- CVE-2026-99258Unknown
In the Linux kernel, hv_apicid_to_vp_index() uses per-CPU hypercall input and output pages. In an SEV-SNP CoCo VM without a paravisor the output page is not allocated, so the hypervisor stores the resulting VP index into memory not allocated by the guest. The fix uses the input page for both input and output.
- CVE-2026-99257Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the shared GPIO mechanism based on platform lookup tables requires an associated struct device. An fwnode-based lookup with no associated device currently causes a NULL-pointer dereference. The fix adds a check that lets the kernel gracefully handle this situation with an error.
- CVE-2026-99256Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the dm cache module used a rw_semaphore for background_work_lock, although write locks on rw_semaphores have strict owner semantics. The locking process was not always the same as the unlocking one, triggering a warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS during suspend/resume of a cache device. The fix replaces the rw_semaphore with a spinlock and a wait queue.
- CVE-2026-99251Unknown
In the Linux kernel, init_vp_index() contains a retry loop that strips CPUs from a node if they are already in the allocated cpumask or outside the HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ housekeeping cpumask. If the housekeeping cpumask contains no CPU in that node, the loop becomes infinite. The fix skips NUMA nodes with no housekeeping CPU and aborts early when no online housekeeping CPUs exist.
- CVE-2026-99250Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the NBCON console printing kthreads are started very early during boot via early_initcall(). Asynchronously enabling/disabling interrupts during early boot may interfere with early SMP setup on some hardware platforms, causing hangs. The fix postpones kthread startup until after all arch initcalls have completed.
- CVE-2026-99249Unknown
In the Linux kernel, zap_pid_ns_processes() waiting for PID namespace cleanup was not freezable. A tracer outside the namespace that does not reap its traced zombies keeps PIDs allocated, making the wait unbounded and causing every suspend attempt to fail. The fix makes the wait loops use TASK_FREEZABLE states so the freezer can freeze waiting tasks.
- CVE-2026-99248Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the i2c: xiic driver was changed to restore non-managed runtime PM instead of the devres-based approach to fix a clk WARN flood. The managed release tore down runtime PM in the wrong order, causing the clock to be disabled twice and triggering "clkN already disabled" warnings on every teardown.
- CVE-2026-99247Unknown
In the Linux kernel, if trace buffer allocation fails during early boot, tracing_disabled remains set and the global trace array events list stays uninitialized. tracer_init_tracefs_work_func() runs asynchronously without checking this state and calls event_trace_init() and init_tracer_tracefs(), leading to a NULL pointer dereference Oops during boot. The fix checks tracing_disabled at the start of the work function.
- CVE-2026-99215Unknown
In the Linux kernel power supply subsystem, a use-after-free vulnerability exists. If a power supply is unregistered while its external_power_changed() callback is still running, the driver may free data that the callback is still accessing, leading to a kernel crash (NULL pointer dereference).
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: caam - Prevent crash on suspend with iMX8QM / iMX8ULP Since the CAAM on these SoCs is managed by another ARM core, called the SECO (Security Controller) on iMX8QM and Secure Enclave on iMX8ULP, which also reserves access to register page 0 suspend operations cannot touch this page. This is similar to when running OPTEE, where OPTEE will reserve page 0. Track this situation using a new state variable no_page0, reflecting if page 0 is reserved elsewhere, either by other management cores in SoC or by OPTEE. Replace the optee_en check in suspend/resume with the new check. optee_en cannot go away as it's needed elsewhere to gate OPTEE specific situations. Fixes the following splat at suspend: Internal error: synchronous external abort: 0000000096000010 [#1] SMP Hardware name: Freescale i.MX8QXP ACU6C (DT) pstate: 60400005 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : readl+0x0/0x18 lr : rd_reg32+0x18/0x3c sp : ffffffc08192ba20 x29: ffffffc08192ba20 x28: ffffff8025190000 x27: 0000000000000000 x26: ffffffc0808ae808 x25: ffffffc080922338 x24: ffffff8020e89090 x23: 0000000000000000 x22: ffffffc080922000 x21: ffffff8020e89010 x20: ffffffc080387ef8 x19: ffffff8020e89010 x18: 000000005d8000d5 x17: 0000000030f35963 x16: 000000008f785f3f x15: 000000003b8ef57c x14: 00000000c418aef8 x13: 00000000f5fea526 x12: 0000000000000001 x11: 0000000000000002 x10: 0000000000000001 x9 : 0000000000000000 x8 : ffffff8025190870 x7 : ffffff8021726880 x6 : 0000000000000002 x5 : ffffff80217268f0 x4 : ffffff8021726880 x3 : ffffffc081200000 x2 : 0000000000000001 x1 : ffffff8020e89010 x0 : ffffffc081200004 Call trace: readl+0x0/0x18 caam_ctrl_suspend+0x30/0xdc dpm_run_callback.constprop.0+0x24/0x5c device_suspend+0x170/0x2e8 dpm_suspend+0xa0/0x104 dpm_suspend_start+0x48/0x50 suspend_devices_and_enter+0x7c/0x45c pm_suspend+0x148/0x160 state_store+0xb4/0xf8 kobj_attr_store+0x14/0x24 sysfs_kf_write+0x38/0x48 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0xb4/0x178 vfs_write+0x118/0x178 ksys_write+0x6c/0xd0 __arm64_sys_write+0x14/0x1c invoke_syscall.constprop.0+0x64/0xb0 do_el0_svc+0x90/0xb0 el0_svc+0x18/0x44 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x88/0x124 el0t_64_sync+0x150/0x154 Code: 88dffc21 88dffc21 5ac00800 d65f03c0 (b9400000)
