In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SDCA: Add better pm_runtime error handling in func probe Add a common… (CVE-2026-98817)

The Linux kernel vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-98817 involves the ASoC SDCA subsystem where the function probe lacked proper error handling for runtime power management (pm_runtime). The resolution introduces a common error path in the probe function to correctly balance the runtime PM reference, addressing the issue.

The input data does not specify the exact impact or exploitation consequences of this vulnerability. It involves error handling in power management within the kernel's ASoC SDCA component, which could potentially affect system stability or power management behavior, but no explicit impact details are provided.

The vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel by adding improved error handling in the ASoC SDCA probe function. Users should apply the official Linux kernel updates that include this fix. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the input data; therefore, check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
