Subject: CVE-2026-93083: firmware: arm_scmi: Unwind TX receiver mailbox setup failure
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 17:16:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026091741-CVE-2026-93083-d256@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Unwind TX receiver mailbox setup failure
mailbox_chan_setup() can request an additional unidirectional TX
receiver channel after successfully acquiring the primary channel. If
that second request fails, the function returns immediately and leaves
the primary channel allocated.
Unwind the primary mailbox channel before returning the error so probe
deferral or other setup failures do not leave the channel busy for later
probe attempts.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-93083 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:
