If the controller is autosuspended, there is no way to wake it up once runtime PM disabled (in suspend_late()). During system resume, the I2C controller will be available only after runtime PM is re-enabled (in resume_early()). However, this may be too late for some devices. Wake up the controller in the suspend() callback while runtime PM is still enabled. The I2C controller will remain available until the suspend_noirq() callback (pm_runtime_force_suspend()) is called. During resume, the I2C controller can be restored by the resume_noirq() callback (pm_runtime_force_resume()). Finally, the resume() callback re-enables autosuspend. As a result, the I2C controller can remain available until the system enters suspend_noirq() and from resume_noirq().

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-23055

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-23055 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-23055

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-23055.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-23055, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
