iio: light: apds9306: fix PM reference leak in apds9306_read_data()
Published 2026-09-16 (33 days ago) by the Linux kernel CNA. Subsystem drivers/iio. Debian urgency: unimportant.
What to do, per Debian release
Debian's own status for CVE-2026-89935 in every release this site tracks, and what each one means in practice. Every status below is the one the Debian Security Team publishes for this CVE. source
| Release | Status | Version | What this means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Debian 12bookworm | not affected | 6.1.190-1 | Nothing to do. bookworm never shipped the vulnerable code. |
| Debian 13trixie | vulnerable | 6.12.113-1 | No fix published anywhere yet, neither in Debian nor upstream for the series trixie tracks. Watch the Debian tracker page for this CVE. Advisories for trixie have historically landed a median of 11 days after publication. |
| Debian 14forky | fixed | 7.2.6-1 | Update the kernel and reboot. Fixed in 7.2.6-1. A running kernel keeps the old code until the machine restarts. |
| Debian unstablesid | fixed | 7.2.6-1 | Update the kernel and reboot. Fixed in 7.2.6-1. A running kernel keeps the old code until the machine restarts. |
The vulnerability
What the bug is
apds9306_read_data() calls pm_runtime_resume_and_get() but several error paths return directly without calling pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(), leaking the runtime PM reference and preventing the device from autosuspending. Use PM_RUNTIME_ACQUIRE_AUTOSUSPEND() and PM_RUNTIME_ACQUIRE_ERR() to automatically handle runtime PM reference release on all return paths.
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.

Check it on the machine
grep -wE 'CONFIG_APDS9306|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 3 releases. The build rule could not be established for 1 release, so nothing is claimed about those.
- bookworm?
- trixie, forky, sidn
- ?
- not established - no Makefile entry for the affected file
- n
- not enabled on any flavour - this release does not build the code
Where a release above reads "not established", no build rule for the affected file was found in that release's kernel tree. That is a gap in this lookup, not a finding that the code is absent.

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.

Why the CNA scored it this way
The kernel CNA published no CVSS vector and no reasoning for CVE-2026-89935, which is why it is shown as unrated rather than given an invented score. 6,405 of the 20,413 CVEs here carry reasoning; this is not one of them.
