Subject: CVE-2026-81015: platform/x86/amd/pmc: Fix LPS0 and debugfs leaks when STB init fails
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 21:42:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026091154-CVE-2026-81015-3515@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86/amd/pmc: Fix LPS0 and debugfs leaks when STB init fails
amd_pmc_probe() registers the LPS0 s2idle handler with
acpi_register_lps0_dev() and creates the driver's debugfs directory before
calling amd_stb_s2d_init(), which is the last step in probe that can fail.
When amd_stb_s2d_init() fails (for example the S2D telemetry region cannot
be ioremapped on a long-running system, or the SMU rejects the S2D setup)
the error path only calls pci_dev_put() and returns. This leaves
amd_pmc_s2idle_dev_ops on the global lps0_s2idle_devops_head list and leaks
the debugfs directory, while the devm-managed resources backing the handler
are torn down.
Reloading the module then walks the corrupted list in
acpi_register_lps0_dev() and hits:
list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev, but was NULL.
kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:29!
acpi_register_lps0_dev+0x44/0x80
amd_pmc_probe+0x224/0x380 [amd_pmc]
platform_probe+0x67/0x90
Even without a reload, the stale registration means the next s2idle
transition calls into torn-down driver state.
Unwind the debugfs directory and the LPS0 registration on the
amd_stb_s2d_init() error path. acpi_unregister_lps0_dev() is safe to call
unconditionally here: it is guarded on the same conditions as
acpi_register_lps0_dev(), which is exactly what amd_pmc_remove() already
relies on.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-81015 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:
