Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64603

Vulnerability identifier: #VU141241

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-2026-64603

CWE-ID: CWE-362

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 a race condition in the intel-hid ACPI notify_handler() when handling concurrent tablet-mode events on multiple CPU cores. A local user can trigger concurrent notify events to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects convertible and detachable systems matched by DMI chassis types 31 and 32 where the SW_TABLET_MODE input device is registered lazily on the first tablet-mode event.
