CVE-2026-46282

What the bug is

When device_property_read_string() fails, str is left uninitialized but the code falls through to strcmp(str, ...), dereferencing a garbage pointer. Replace manual read/strcmp with device_property_match_property_string() and consolidate the SE mode enums into a single sequential enum, mapping to hardware register values via a switch consistent with other bitfields in the driver. Several cleanup patches have been applied to this driver recently so this will need a manual backport.

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

What this is

ANALOG DEVICES INC ADMV1013 DRIVERMAINTAINERS section matched on drivers/iio/frequency/admv1013.c · linux-iio@vger.kernel.org · Supported

Kernel module

none to look for. The file would have gone into admv1013, and Debian does not compile it into that module, so finding admv1013 in lsmod would say nothing about this CVE.

Check it on the machine

grep -wE 'CONFIG_ADMV1013|CONFIG_IIO' /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

Show whether Debian builds this, per release

Debian does not build this code. In 4 releases below, every kernel flavour Debian publishes has the switch off, so the vulnerable file is compiled into no kernel binary Debian ships.

• bookworm, trixie, forky, sidn

n

not enabled on any flavour - this release does not build the code

Build switches

CONFIG_ADMV1013, CONFIG_IIO

Reads as

all on means the file is compiled; any one off means it is not.

From the configuration Debian publishes for every kernel flavour it builds. It covers only the architectures Debian ships a linux-config package for, and nothing about a kernel you built yourself. Debian's own status above stays authoritative about the source package.MAINTAINERS kbuild Makefiles Debian linux-config packages
