Overview

CVE-2026-98529 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 18, 2026.

Technical description

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

gpio: arizona: Fix runtime PM leak in arizona_gpio_direction_out()

Switching a persistent GPIO line from input to output acquires a

runtime PM reference on the parent device, but if the subsequent

regmap_update_bits() fails the reference is never dropped and no later

direction_in() can balance it since the direction was never changed.

Drop the reference on the update failure path.
