CVE-2026-53056

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dpu: fix mismatch between power and frequency During DPU runtime suspend, calling dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0) drops the MMCX rail to MIN_SVS while the core clock frequency remains at its original (highest) rate. When runtime resume re-enables the clock, this may result in a mismatch between the rail voltage and the clock rate. For example, in the DPU bind path, the sequence could be: cpu0: dev_sync_state -> rpmhpd_sync_state cpu1: dpu_kms_hw_init timeline 0 ------------------------------------------------> t After rpmhpd_sync_state, the voltage performance is no longer guaranteed to stay at the highest level. During dpu_kms_hw_init, calling dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0) drops the voltage, causing the MMCX rail to fall to MIN_SVS while the core clock is still at its maximum frequency. When the power is re-enabled, only the clock is enabled, leading to a situation where the MMCX rail is at MIN_SVS but the core clock is at its highest rate. In this state, the rail cannot sustain the clock rate, which may cause instability or system crash. Remove the call to dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0) from dpu_runtime_suspend to ensure the correct vote is restored when DPU resumes. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/710077/

Affected products and versions

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.

Remediation & validation

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
  3. Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
  4. Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
