Summary

The Linux kernel watchdog driver for the DA9063 PMIC is affected from version 5.19. Its suspend and resume callbacks check only whether userspace has opened the watchdog, so a watchdog that the driver left running at probe keeps counting during system suspend. This can cause an unexpected system reset.

Description from the CNA

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: da9063: fix suspend/resume handling of HW_RUNNING watchdog da9063_wdt_suspend() and da9063_wdt_resume() only check watchdog_active(), when the watchdog is left running by the driver sets WDOG_HW_RUNNING in da9063_wdt_probe() but userspace never opens the device, so WDOG_ACTIVE remains cleared, the wdt_disable() will not be executed in da9063_wdt_suspend. In this case, the suspend callback is a no-op and the watchdog keeps counting during system suspend, leading to an unexpected system reset. Check WDOG_HW_RUNNING and wdd，can fix this issue.
