Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.19.8. Affected by this issue is the function pm_runtime_get_sync of the component iio. The manipulation of the argument return with an unknown input leads to a return value vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-252. The product does not check the return value from a method or function, which can prevent it from detecting unexpected states and conditions. The impact remains unknown. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: gyro: mpu3050-core: fix pm_runtime error handling The return value of pm_runtime_get_sync() is not checked, allowing the driver to access hardware that may fail to resume. The device usage count is also unconditionally incremented. Use pm_runtime_resume_and_get() which propagates errors and avoids incrementing the usage count on failure. In preenable, add pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() on set_8khz_samplerate() failure since postdisable does not run when preenable fails.

The advisory is shared for download at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-43357 since 05/01/2026. The exploitation is known to be difficult. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 07/27/2026).

Upgrading to version 5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.167, 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19 or 6.19.9 eliminates this vulnerability.
