CVE-2026-90422

What the bug is

When mtk_clk_register_pllfhs function fails to register a PLL, it unregisters all PLLs and cleans up itself in its error path before returning, so the function callers don't need to do it. But contrary to mtk_clk_unregister_pllfhs function, that does almost the same sequence, it does not free the IO memory mapped on fhctl node, leading to a leak. Fix this leak by factorizing the cleanup sequence in a new private function and use it both mtk_clk_register_pllfhs and mtk_clk_unregister_pllfhs functions. Also, change the loop index start value to avoid the -1 operation on index at each loop.

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

COMMON CLK FRAMEWORKMAINTAINERS section matched on drivers/clk/ · linux-clk@vger.kernel.org · Maintained

Check it on the machine

grep -w CONFIG_COMMON_CLK_MEDIATEK_FHCTL /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. The build rule could not be established for 1 release, so nothing is claimed about those.

?

not established - no Makefile entry for the affected file

Y

built in where it is built at all; some flavours do not build it

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.
