CVE-2026-43087
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: mcp23s08: Disable all pin interrupts during probe
A chip being probed may have the interrupt-on-change feature enabled on some of its pins, for example after a reboot. This can cause the chip to generate interrupts for pins that don't have a registered nested handler, which leads to a kernel crash such as below:
This issue has always been present, but has been latent until commit "f9f4fda15e72" ("pinctrl: mcp23s08: init reg_defaults from HW at probe and switch cache type"), which correctly removed reg_defaults from the regmap and as a side effect changed the behavior of the interrupt handler so that the real value of the MCP_GPINTEN register is now being read from the chip instead of using a bogus 0 default value; a non-zero value for this register can trigger the invocation of a nested handler which may not exist (yet).
