Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-11 22:22:20 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

timekeeping: Check the return value of tk_get_aux_ts64 in __do_adjtimex()

If the auxiliary clock is disabled during tk_get_aux_ts64() but is enabled
before tks->clock_valid is checked, then uninitialized stackdata will be
used in the calculations and indirectly leaked to userspace.

The same race window also exists after this change and also for the core
timekeeper. But in these cases the only effect would be incorrect
adjustments and this is userspace's responsibility to avoid this.
