{"id":"AZL-102479","summary":"CVE-2026-93159 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncrypto: atmel-sha204a - fix heap info leak on I2C transfer failure\n\nThe nonblocking RNG path allocates a work_data structure to track the\nstate of an in-flight asynchronous I2C request. This pointer is stored\nin rng-\u003epriv and later consumed by the read path once the transaction\ncompletes.\n\nIf the underlying I2C transfer fails, the completion callback is invoked\nwith a non-zero status. In this case, the allocated work_data is not\nusable for producing RNG output and must not remain associated with the\nhwrng state.\n\nPreviously, the failure path only logged a warning but left the pointer\nstate uncleared, which can result in subsequent read attempts observing\nstale state and interpreting it as valid completion data.\n\nFix this by freeing the pending work_data. The I2C transaction reports\nan error. This ensures that failed requests do not leave residual state\nbehind that could be interpreted as valid RNG data on later reads.\nClearing rng-\u003epriv is done at the subsequent call to nonblocking read.","modified":"2026-09-19T05:33:49Z","published":"2026-09-17T17:18:11Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-93159"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-93159"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-102479.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
