Overview

CVE-2026-90208 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

clocksource/drivers/samsung_pwm: Switch to raw_spinlock_t type

Samsung PWM timer might be used as a clock source on some legacy systems.

When PREEMPT_RT is enabled on ARM, regular spinlock is converted to a

sleeping lock (mutex-based), which must not be used in atomic context

such as hard interrupt handlers. Switch the samsung_pwm_lock to the

raw_spinlock, which remains a true non-sleeping spinlock even

under PREEMPT_RT.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90208?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90208 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.
