CVE-2026-53307
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: pinconf-generic: Fully validate 'pinmux' property The pinconf_generic_parse_dt_pinmux() assumes that the 'pinmux' property is not empty when present. This might be not true. With that, the allocator will give a special value in return and not NULL which lead to the crash when trying to access that (invalid) memory. Fix that by fully validating 'pinmux' value, including its length.
No public exploitation has been reported so far. No distribution fix is listed yet; apply vendor mitigations and monitor.
Recommended action: Track your distribution's security tracker and apply the fix as soon as it ships.
Affected & fixed versions by distribution
Versions are the native distribution strings (backport-aware): RHEL/Debian/SUSE backport fixes, so compare with the distro version comparator (dpkg / rpm / vercmp), not the upstream version.
No affected package in the tracked watchlist yet (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat...). Triage may still be pending.
