Overview

CVE-2026-72075 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical description

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

Input: ims-pcu - fix race condition in reset_device sysfs callback

The ims_pcu_reset_device() sysfs callback calls ims_pcu_execute_command()

without acquiring pcu->cmd_mutex. This can lead to data races and

corruption of the shared command buffer if triggered concurrently with

other commands.

Acquire pcu->cmd_mutex before calling ims_pcu_execute_command().
