Linux Kernel up to 6.18.41/7.1.4/7.2-rc3 pmdomain race condition

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.18.41/7.1.4/7.2-rc3. This affects an unknown functionality of the component pmdomain. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a race condition vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-362. The product contains a code sequence that can run concurrently with other code, and the code sequence requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence that is operating concurrently. This is going to have an impact on integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pmdomain: imx93-blk-ctrl: Extract PHY as shared domain for DSI/CSI The MIPI DSI and CSI domains share control bits for clock and reset, which can lead to incorrect behavior if one domain disables the shared resource while the other is still active. To fix the issue, introduce a shared MIPI PHY power domain to own the common resources and make DSI and CSI its subdomains. This ensures the shared bits are properly managed and not disabled while still in use.

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-72009 since 08/09/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

Upgrading to version 6.18.42, 7.1.5 or 7.2-rc4 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 4fd5b33faf092ef2d09f730a7d9e49f9e976ac67/4ba6d7166750d0b810c6cfc0b1df7585f513b48c/99611233f8cda833169fa6487d5dacdf189e5cb0 is able to eliminate this problem.
