The vulnerability
What the bug is
devm_clk_get_optional_enabled_with_rate() registers its cleanup action before setting the clock rate. If setting the rate fails, it attempts to disable and unprepare a clock that was never enabled. This issue was spotted while reviewing "rust: clk: add devres-managed clks" [1]. Register the cleanup action only after successfully preparing and enabling the clock.

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 -w CONFIG_HAVE_CLK /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 builds this, but not on every flavour. At least one release below builds the code on some of its kernel flavours and not on others, so the answer depends on the architecture and flavour installed.

Why the CNA scored it this way
The kernel CNA published no CVSS vector and no reasoning for CVE-2026-90147, 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.
