CVE-2026-80999 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 11, 2026.
Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: realtek: use gpiod_set_value_cansleep for reset GPIO
rtl83xx_reset_assert() and rtl83xx_reset_deassert() are only called from
the probe path, which may sleep and is not timing-critical. When the
reset GPIO is provided by a sleeping controller such as an I2C I/O
expander, gpiod_set_value() warns:
WARNING: drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:4030 at gpiod_set_value+0x44/0x80, CPU#1: kworker/u16:4/61
