Overview

CVE-2026-64499 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: adc: ti-ads1119: fix PM reference leak in buffer preenable

ads1119_triggered_buffer_preenable() resumes the device with

pm_runtime_resume_and_get() before starting a conversion.

If i2c_smbus_write_byte() fails, the function returns the error directly

and leaves the runtime PM usage counter elevated. The matching

postdisable callback is not called when preenable fails, so the reference

is leaked and the device may remain runtime-active indefinitely.

Store the I2C transfer result in ret and drop the runtime PM reference on

failure before returning the error.
