CVE-2026-80999
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Realtek Digital Subscriber Line (DSA) driver. The driver incorrectly uses gpiod_set_value() instead of gpiod_set_value_cansleep() for reset GPIO operations. This can lead to system warnings when the reset GPIO is managed by a sleeping controller, potentially causing unexpected behavior or instability during the probe path.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
