Overview

CVE-2026-90360 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

regulator: core: use system_freezable_wq for init complete work

schedule_delayed_work() uses system_wq, which is non-freezable, allowing

regulator_init_complete_work to run concurrently with system suspend. This

work fires ~30s after boot to disable unused regulators via I2C. When it

races with PM suspend, the I2C adapter may already be suspended, triggering

a -ESHUTDOWN warning in __i2c_transfer():

WARNING: ... at __i2c_transfer+0x36c/0x3c8

Call trace:

__i2c_transfer

i2c_transfer

regmap_i2c_write

_regmap_update_bits

regulator_disable_regmap

_regulator_do_disable

regulator_late_cleanup

regulator_init_complete_work_function

process_one_work

Switch to system_freezable_wq so the work is frozen before any device

is suspended, eliminating the race.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90360?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90360 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
