Vulnerability description

DayBreach CVE AI Research

CVE-2026-74463 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: jz4780: Cache host clock rate at probe to prevent CCF prepare_lock deadlock Fix a severe AB/BA deadlock between the Common Clock Framework (CCF) and the I2C adapter lock, which triggers when an I2C-controlled clock generator client (like the Si5351) is registered or modified under the CCF. During an i2c client clock (generator) frequency change, the CCF acquires its global 'prepare_lock' mutex and the driver calls i2c_transfer() to update the client's chip registers, stalling for the adapter's I2C bus lock. Concurrently, an independent, parallel transfer on the same bus (e.g., a GPIO expander handling LEDs) can hold the I2C adapter lock. Inside this parallel transfer path, jz4780_i2c_set_speed() calls clk_get_rate() on the host controller's input clock to calculate bus timings. This call attempts to acquire the blocked CCF 'prepare_lock', creating a circular dependency that freezes the system. The jz4780 host controller clock itself is static and never changes at runtime. However, calling clk_get_rate() inside the active transfer path introduces an unnecessary dependency on the CCF internal locks. Eliminate this synchronous clk_get_rate() call from the active transfer path by caching the static host peripheral clock rate once - inside the private jz4780_i2c structure during jz4780_i2c_probe(). Update jz4780_i2c_set_speed() to use this cached value, safely decoupling active I2C transactions from the CCF internal locks without any risk of stale timings.
