The delayed worker then passes the combined bitmask unmodified\nto regulator_notifier_call_chain().\n\nThe core regulator subsystem's regulator_handle_critical() function\nevaluates the event parameter using a strict switch statement. If\nmultiple distinct faults occur before the worker runs (e.g.,\nREGULATOR_EVENT_UNDER_VOLTAGE | REGULATOR_EVENT_OVER_CURRENT), the combined\nbitmask fails to match any case. This leaves the reason as NULL and\ncompletely bypasses the critical hw_protection_trigger().\n\nFix the problem by passing events bit by bit to the regulator event\nhandler.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":7.1},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2106bf4056858fcce3624e0c51f6fee4d41d3f2f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/489291b6b56978cc50d34e8e13f9636ea296ba8a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/48fe43666950efefb7ac5fbdc012c1b3604096bf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ef7dacd44216bf5ea05c8aef49eba4d145f4047","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b0ff6b6ae9c5183ef701ece7016698bde5a5bfba"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-30T13:47:47.119061695+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72395","score":0.00182,"percentile":0.0779,"date":"2026-10-30"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
