Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: lis3lv02d_i2c: Fix regulators getting en-/dis-abled twice on suspend/resume When not configured for wakeup lis3lv02d_i2c_suspend() will call lis3lv02d_poweroff() even if the device has already been turned off by the runtime-suspend handler and if configured for wakeup and the device is runtime-suspended at this point then it is not turned back on to serve as a wakeup source. Before commit b1b9f7a49440 ("misc: lis3lv02d_i2c: Add missing setting of the reg_ctrl callback"), lis3lv02d_poweroff() failed to disable the regulators which as a side effect made calling poweroff() twice ok. Now that poweroff() correctly disables the regulators, doing this twice triggers a WARN() in the regulator core: unbalanced disables for regulator-dummy WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 92 at drivers/regulator/core.c:2999 _regulator_disable ... Fix lis3lv02d_i2c_suspend() to not call poweroff() a second time if already runtime-suspended and add a poweron() call when necessary to make wakeup work. lis3lv02d_i2c_resume() has similar issues, with an added weirness that it always powers on the device if it is runtime suspended, after which the first runtime-resume will call poweron() again, causing the enabled count for the regulator to increase by 1 every suspend/resume. These unbalanced regulator_enable() calls cause the regulator to never be turned off and trigger the following WARN() on driver unbind: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1724 at drivers/regulator/core.c:2396 _regulator_put Fix this by making lis3lv02d_i2c_resume() mirror the new suspend().

Recommended fix High confidence

Linux Kernel 6.1.84+ / 6.6.24+ / 6.7.12+ / 6.8.1+ (depending on branch)

  1. Identify the currently running Linux kernel version using `uname -r`
  2. Determine which kernel branch your version belongs to (e.g., 6.1.x, 6.6.x, 6.7.x, or 6.8.x)
  3. Upgrade the Linux kernel to the fixed release for your branch: 6.1.84 or later, 6.6.24 or later, 6.7.12 or later, or 6.8.1 or later
  4. Reboot the system to load the fixed kernel
  5. Verify the fix is applied by checking the kernel version and the presence of commit 4154e767354140db7804207117e7238fb337b0e7 in the kernel source
Caveat Kernel upgrades may require rebooting services; ensure compatibility with custom drivers or modules before upgrading production systems
