Overview

CVE-2026-90123 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

irqchip/ast2700-intc: Avoid allocating in the irq_domain activate() callback

The interrupt core calls the irq_domain_activate() callback from

__setup_irq() with desc->lock held and interrupts disabled. Both

aspeed_intc1_irq_domain_activate() and aspeed_intc0_resolve_route() test a

compatible string with fwnode_device_is_compatible().

fwnode_device_is_compatible() invokes fwnode_property_match_string(), which

allocates with GFP_KERNEL. That's obviously not possible with interrupts

disabled and a raw spinlock held.

Both call sites are only ever handed OF nodes, so use

of_device_is_compatible() instead: it walks the property in place and does

not allocate.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90123?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90123 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.
