CVE-2026-23369 — i2c: i801: Revert "i2c: i801: replace acpi_lock with I2C bus lock"

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i2c: i801: Revert "i2c: i801: replace acpi_lock with I2C bus lock"

This reverts commit f707d6b9e7c18f669adfdb443906d46cfbaaa0c1.

Under rare circumstances, multiple udev threads can collect i801 device info on boot and walk i801_acpi_io_handler somewhat concurrently. The first will note the area is reserved by acpi to prevent further touches. This ultimately causes the area to be deregistered. The second will enter i801_acpi_io_handler after the area is unregistered but before a check can be made that the area is unregistered. i2c_lock_bus relies on the now unregistered area containing lock_ops to lock the bus. The end result is a kernel panic on boot with the following backtrace;

It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly clear data in the floating point divider unit during speculative execution. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2025-54505)

It was discovered that some AMD Zen 2 processors did not properly isolate shared resources in the operation cache. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to corrupt instructions executed at a higher privilege level, resulting in privilege escalation. (CVE-2025-54518)

It was discovered that some AMD Zen 5 processors supporting RDSEED instruction did not properly handle entropy, potentially resulting in the consumption of insufficiently random values. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to influence the values returned by the RDSEED instruction causing loss of confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2025-62626)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - ACPI drivers; - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers; - Drivers core; - Power management core; - DRBD Distributed Replicated Block Device drivers; - Rados block device (RBD) driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Bus devices; - Charact…
