Overview

CVE-2026-89939 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 16, 2026.

Technical description

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

iio: chemical: atlas-sensor: fix PM reference leak in buffer postenable

atlas_buffer_postenable() acquires a runtime PM reference with

pm_runtime_resume_and_get() but returns the result of

atlas_set_interrupt() directly. If atlas_set_interrupt() fails,

the runtime PM reference is leaked and the device can never

autosuspend.

Add pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() on the error path to balance

the reference.
