Subject: CVE-2026-80930: tpm: tpm_i2c_nuvoton: disable IRQ on wait timeout
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 21:40:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026091135-CVE-2026-80930-29e3@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm: tpm_i2c_nuvoton: disable IRQ on wait timeout
i2c_nuvoton_wait_for_stat() enables the IRQ before waiting for the
interrupt handler to report a status change. If the wait times out, or is
interrupted before the handler runs, the function returns without
balancing the enable_irq() call.
Disable the IRQ before leaving the failed wait path. Also preserve an
interrupted wait's original error code instead of converting it to
-ETIMEDOUT inside the helper.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-80930 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
