CVE-2026-93152

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, apple_nvme_init_queue() in the nvme-apple driver initialized queue state and then marked the queue enabled. The old wmb() after WRITE_ONCE(enabled, true) did not publish the earlier initialization before enabled became visible, potentially racing with interrupt and request paths.

Risk Assessment

This may lead to interrupt or request paths using uninitialized queue state, causing instability, data corruption, or a system crash.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version using a release store when enabling the queue and acquire loads when testing it.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-apple: Use acquire/release for queue enabled state apple_nvme_init_queue() initializes queue state and then marks the queue enabled. The interrupt and request paths check enabled before using that queue state. The old wmb() after WRITE_ONCE(enabled, true) does not publish the earlier initialization before enabled becomes visible. Use a release store when enabling the queue and acquire loads when testing it. Although the shutdown-side enabled accesses are not used for publishing queue initialization, use helpers for them as well for consistency.
