Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's DA9063 watchdog driver. When a system suspends while the hardware watchdog timer is running without active user-space management, the driver fails to disable the timer. Consequently, the timer continues to run and can expire while the system is suspended, triggering an unexpected reboot and leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-14 13:44:55 UTC

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

watchdog: da9063: fix suspend/resume handling of HW_RUNNING watchdog

da9063_wdt_suspend() and da9063_wdt_resume() only check watchdog_active(),
when the watchdog is left running by the driver sets
WDOG_HW_RUNNING in da9063_wdt_probe() but userspace never opens the
device, so WDOG_ACTIVE remains cleared, the wdt_disable() will not be
executed in da9063_wdt_suspend. In this case, the suspend callback is
a no-op and the watchdog keeps counting during system suspend,
leading to an unexpected system reset.
Check WDOG_HW_RUNNING and wdd，can fix this issue.
