# CVE-2026-93263: linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: eswin: Zero-initialize stack-allocated clk_... CVE-2026-93263 is fixed in linux on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-93263 (version 7.2.6-1), released September 24, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-93263 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: n/a - EPSS: 0.0018 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Sep 24, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: eswin: Zero-initialize stack-allocated clk_init_data eswin_clk_register_pll() and eswin_register_clkdiv() declare a struct clk_init_data on the stack and only initialize some of its fields (parent_data respectively parent_hws). clk_core_populate_parent_map() checks parent_names first and parent_data second before falling back to parent_hws, so leftover stack garbage in the uninitialized fields hijacks parent resolution and the clk core dereferences a bogus pointer: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000000000000c Oops [#1] epc : __clk_register+0x31a/0x7f0 [] __clk_register+0x31a/0x7f0 [] devm_clk_hw_register+0x2a/0x94 [] eswin_register_clkdiv+0x80/0xd0 [] eswin_clk_register_clks+0x162/0x1a0 [] eic7700_clk_probe+0x146/0x180 [] platform_probe+0x3c/0x7a Observed on EIC7700 hardware (with the driver backported to a 6.17 tree); whether the bug triggers depends entirely on what the stack happens to contain when the registration helpers run. Zero-initialize both structures. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 7.2.6-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-93263](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-93263.md) | Sep 24, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T00:53:09Z UTC.
