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 classified as critical was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.6.159/6.12.112/6.18.56/7.2.10. This vulnerability affects the function i2s_runtime_suspend of the file drivers/clk/clk.c of the component ASoC. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a race condition vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: samsung: i2s: enable op_clk in probe to balance runtime PM The probe function puts the device into the runtime PM active state with only the "iis" bus clock enabled, but it also sets priv->op_clk to the parent of the RCLK_SRC mux without enabling it. The runtime PM suspend callback disables both clocks, so the first runtime suspend after probe disables op_clk once more than it was enabled. On Exynos5250 Arndale both clocks resolve to the same EXYNOS_I2S_BUS gate, so this triggers the following warning during boot: WARNING: drivers/clk/clk.c:1270 at clk_core_disable+0xe4/0x23c, CPU#0: kworker/u8:3/45 i2s_bus already disabled ... Workqueue: pm pm_runtime_work Call trace: ... clk_core_disable from clk_disable+0x28/0x34 clk_disable from i2s_runtime_suspend+0x58/0x68 [snd_soc_i2s] i2s_runtime_suspend [snd_soc_i2s] from genpd_runtime_suspend+0xc4/0x298 genpd_runtime_suspend from __rpm_callback+0x48/0x18c __rpm_callback from rpm_callback+0x4c/0x50 rpm_callback from rpm_suspend+0xf4/0x718 rpm_suspend from pm_runtime_work+0x9c/0xa0 ... Fix this by enabling op_clk in probe right after getting it, so the clock state matches the runtime PM active state, and by disabling it in remove.

The advisory is shared for download at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-99089 since 09/25/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available.

Upgrading to version 6.6.160, 6.12.113, 6.18.57 or 7.2.11 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 2c64c30d493d82d5edc95811cede0083e1195822/5dac6bf09b5a4fff2433629801309c3884c3e94a/64bb35079dcbc67901da1fe8c52c234cbcd17df3/a728c12f8bd89947894e227d0f4f83a895ac9ab7/7529254014764ae0b8c33d5c61a58f36c65b1a1c is able to eliminate this problem. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
