Linux Kernel CVE-2026-31762

Apply vendor-released kernel patches by upgrading to patched versions: Linux 5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.168, 6.6.134, 6.12.81, 6.18.22, 6.19.12, or 7.0 (or later) depending on the currently deployed kernel branch. The fix adds a cleanup goto statement to properly call free_irq() when iio_trigger_register() fails, ensuring interrupt handlers are released before function return. For systems unable to immediately patch, the primary compensating control is to prevent unprivileged users from accessing interfaces that trigger mpu3050_trigger_probe() (such as by restricting access to relevant sysfs or device nodes to root or trusted applications only via file permissions and AppArmor/SELinux policies), though this trade-off may disable legitimate device functionality for non-root users. Systems not using MPU3050 gyroscope hardware are unaffected. Kernel maintainers have backported fixes to all actively maintained stable branches; deployment should follow standard kernel update procedures including testing the patched version before production deployment.
