CVE-2026-72152
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Trusted Platform Module (TPM) TIS SPI driver. The wait_event_interruptible_timeout() function incorrectly evaluates its condition after setting the task state, which can trigger a warning when debugging atomic sleeps and using the Interrupt Request (IRQ) wait path. This could potentially lead to system instability or unexpected behavior. The issue has been resolved by implementing proper task state handling and using wait_woken() for changes.
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.
