CVE-2026-72397

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

hwmon: (pmbus/core) honor vrm_version in pmbus_data2reg_vid()

pmbus_data2reg_vid() hardcoded the VR11 encoding regardless of the

vrm_version configured by the driver, while pmbus_reg2data_vid()

already switched on it. Any driver that selects a non-VR11 VID mode

and exposes a regulator (or hwmon vout setter) sent dangerously

wrong codes to PMBUS_VOUT_COMMAND -- e.g. an nvidia195mv part asked

for 200 mV got the VR11 clamp to 500 mV encoded as 0xB2, which the

chip interprets as 1080 mV.

Mirror pmbus_reg2data_vid() so writes round-trip with reads.
