{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-98480","aliases":[],"summary":"nfc: trf7970a: power down on startup RX gain failure","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfc: trf7970a: power down on startup RX gain failure\n\ntrf7970a_startup() powers up the device before applying the optional RX\ngain reduction. If the register read or write fails, it returns without\nundoing that power-up. Probe's unwind only drops the separate regulator\nreferences acquired by probe, leaving the additional VIN enable from\nstartup unbalanced. The system resume caller also has no power-down on\nthis error.\n\nCall trf7970a_power_down() before returning the RX gain error to deassert\nthe enable GPIOs, release the startup VIN reference and restore the\npowered-off state. Runtime PM has not been enabled yet, so the full\nshutdown helper is not appropriate here. Preserve the original SPI error.\n\nThis issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while\nreviewing kernel code.","categories":["Operating systems"],"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","ecosystem":null,"affected_ranges":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98480","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:20:17.774Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","versions":[{"version":"5d69351820eab6be1d298af21aedd18be5e5a11a","lessThan":"cc444e4ad43461374dd128573eccb8979d2adb4c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5d69351820eab6be1d298af21aedd18be5e5a11a","lessThan":"6ef70d790425e76b42c69e416ee78c62bdc37d00","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5d69351820eab6be1d298af21aedd18be5e5a11a","lessThan":"d2acbde7e67df44efa8f0963462d1192e7694ffc","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected"},{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98480","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:20:17.774Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","versions":[{"version":"6.17","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.17","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.55","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.9","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}],"defaultStatus":"affected"}],"fixed_versions":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98480","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:20:17.774Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","package":{"name":"Linux","ecosystem":null},"version":"6ef70d790425e76b42c69e416ee78c62bdc37d00","basis":"first unaffected version stated in the CVE record"}],"cvss":null,"severity":null,"kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":0.00198,"percentile":0.09051,"score_date":"2026-10-23"},"published_at":"2026-10-18T15:15:54.528Z","modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:20:17.774Z","provenance":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98480","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:20:17.774Z"},{"source":"EPSS","url":"https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2026-98480","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23"}],"sources":["CVE List","EPSS"],"references":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cc444e4ad43461374dd128573eccb8979d2adb4c"},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6ef70d790425e76b42c69e416ee78c62bdc37d00"},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d2acbde7e67df44efa8f0963462d1192e7694ffc"}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"cve_state":"PUBLISHED","classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":"product","confidence":"heuristic","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-10-19T09:20:17.774Z","content_hash":"e7edfbadbfbe5c32c4aff6e463ce8eeb133d274592ae53950a71e8b8be2089e8"}}
