NewCVE-2026-90122 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:12 linux-6.12 to version 6.12.111-1~deb12u1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.12 package and not the linux-6.12 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: visconti: Make sure clk_init_data is fully initialized
The clk_init_data structure contains several mutually-exclusive members for different methods to specify the possible parents of a clock, prompting drivers to initialize only the members they need. However, not initializing all members may cause subtle issues, which are only exposed when CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE is enabled.
visconti_clk_register_gate() fills in init.parent_data, and assumes that init.parent_names is NULL. However, the latter in uninitialized, and thus may cause a crash.
Make sure all members are fully initialized, to fix such bugs, and to avoid future breakage when converting drivers to a different method for specifying the parents.
