CVE-2026-89937 PUBLISHED

iio: chemical: sgp30: Handle IAQ thread creation failure

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 11.09.2026 Published: 16.09.2026 Updated: 16.09.2026

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

iio: chemical: sgp30: Handle IAQ thread creation failure

kthread_run() can fail and return an error pointer, but sgp_probe() stores it and returns success, so the device is registered without its IAQ thread and sgp_remove() later passes the error pointer to kthread_stop(). Return the error from probe instead.
