iio: dac: m62332: Fix regulator reference count imbalance

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.21% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 08ac8d2976d57aa943d64e351c4d0bd8bb0c6de9, 1d3a7d7dd3adee19e00be2b2237140f0fe169484, 9263b9ad968a563337a60e0eb66e35186e1faf9a.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 08ac8d2976d57aa943d64e351c4d0bd8bb0c6de9, 1d3a7d7dd3adee19e00be2b2237140f0fe169484, 9263b9ad968a563337a60e0eb66e35186e1faf9a or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: dac: m62332: Fix regulator reference count imbalance m62332_set_value() enables the Vcc regulator on every write of a non-zero value and disables it on every write of zero, without tracking the channel's current state. Because the regulator is reference counted, changing a channel directly from one non-zero value to another enables it more than once, while a later write of zero disables it only once. The reference count never returns to zero and the regulator is left enabled indefinitely. Only enable the regulator on the transition from zero to non-zero, and only disable it on the transition from non-zero to zero, using the previously stored channel value to detect the edge. Balance the regulator on the I2C error path so the reference count stays consistent if the write fails.
