Summary
The Linux kernel's Tegra power management controller driver, used on legacy 32-bit NVIDIA Tegra devices, is affected. A missing clock rate initialization can trigger spurious warnings during system suspend and may leave the suspend-mode configuration using an incorrect value.
Read the original description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc/tegra: pmc: Fix uninitialised clock rate For legacy 32-bit Tegra devices, the warning in the tegra_pmc_enter_suspend_mode() function is being triggered because the early_pmc->rate variable is never configured and hence, always 0. This issue started occurring after updating the PMC driver to create the PMC context dynamically which causes the 'rate' to be set in the new dynamic context, but missed updating the rate in the early PMC context. Fix this by initialising the early_pmc->rate variable for 32-bit Tegra devices when the rate for the PMC context is initialised. [treding@nvidia.com: move assignment to existing #ifdef block]

Questions about CVE-2026-99259
Is CVE-2026-99259 being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
