Details
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.6.147/6.12.100/6.18.41/7.1.5. This affects the function UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS of the file /drivers/clk/clk.c of the component cdns-dsi. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a exceptional condition vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-755. The product does not handle or incorrectly handles an exceptional condition. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/bridge: cdns-dsi: Replace deprecated UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS() The deprecated UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS() macro uses the provided callbacks for both runtime PM and system sleep. This causes the DSI clocks to be disabled twice: once during runtime suspend and again during system suspend, resulting in a WARN message from the clock framework when attempting to disable already-disabled clocks. [ 84.384540] clk:231:5 already disabled [ 84.388314] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 531 at /drivers/clk/clk.c:1181 clk_core_disable+0xa4/0xac ...

Bridge and panel drivers should only deal with runtime PM, as the DRM framework manages system-wide power transitions through the bridge enable() and disable() hooks.
The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-68280 since 07/30/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 08/10/2026).
Upgrading to version 6.6.148, 6.12.101, 6.18.42, 7.1.6 or 7.2-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability.
