Improper resource shutdown or release in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64499

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139443

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64499

CWE-ID: CWE-404

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in ads1119_triggered_buffer_preenable() in the ti-ads1119 ADC driver when starting a conversion after resuming the device. A local user can trigger an I2C transfer failure to cause a denial of service.

The issue can leave the runtime PM usage counter elevated, causing the device to remain runtime-active indefinitely when the preenable callback fails.
