CVE-2026-72260

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: mediatek: mt8192: Check runtime resume during probe The MT8192 AFE probe enables runtime PM temporarily while reinitializing the regmap cache from hardware, but it uses pm_runtime_get_sync() without checking the return value. If runtime resume fails, probe keeps going without the device necessarily being accessible, and pm_runtime_get_sync() may leave the PM usage count incremented. The regmap_reinit_cache() failure path also returns before dropping the temporary PM reference and before clearing pm_runtime_bypass_reg_ctl. Use pm_runtime_resume_and_get() so resume failures do not leak a usage count, and clear the temporary bypass flag after dropping the probe PM reference on all regmap_reinit_cache() outcomes.

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.
