Overview

CVE-2026-64494 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 25, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: light: gp2ap002: fix runtime PM leak on read error

gp2ap002_read_raw() calls pm_runtime_get_sync() before reading the

lux value, but if gp2ap002_get_lux() fails, it returns directly. This

skips the pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() call at the "out" label,

permanently leaking a runtime PM reference and preventing the device

from autosuspending.

Replace the direct return with a "goto out" to ensure the reference

is properly dropped on the error path.
