Overview

CVE-2026-89572 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 11, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cpufreq: apple-soc: Fix OPP table cleanup

apple_soc_cpufreq_init() adds OPP tables from firmware, but

some failure paths do not remove them. The driver also uses

dev_pm_opp_remove_all_dynamic(), which is not the right cleanup

helper for OPP tables loaded from firmware.

Use the cpumask OPP helper after the policy CPU mask has been

populated. Pair it with the matching cpumask remove helper on

failure paths and in apple_soc_cpufreq_exit(). This also removes

the separate dev_pm_opp_set_sharing_cpus() call, as the cpumask

helper loads the DT OPP tables for all CPUs in the policy.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89572?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89572 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
