CVE-2026-64214CVE-2026-64214
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/time: Remove redundant preempt_disable|enable() calls from arch_irq_work_raise()
A kernel panic is observed when handling machine check exceptions from
real mode.
BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0xc00000006be21300
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
MSR: 8000000000001003 <SF,ME,RI,LE> CR: 88222248 XER: 00000005

The crash occurs because arch_irq_work_raise() calls preempt_disable()
from machine check exception (MCE) handlers running in real mode. In
this context, accessing the preempt_count can fault, leading to the
Scoring
