been resolved:\n\nnfc: nci: Fix race between rfkill and nci_unregister_device().\n\nsyzbot reported the splat below [0] without a repro.\n\nIt indicates that struct nci_dev.cmd_wq had been destroyed before\nnci_close_device() was called via rfkill.\n\nnci_dev.cmd_wq is only destroyed in nci_unregister_device(), which\n(I think) was called from virtual_ncidev_close() when syzbot close()d\nan fd of virtual_ncidev.\n\nThe problem is that nci_unregister_device() destroys nci_dev.cmd_wq\nfirst and then calls nfc_unregister_device(), which removes the\ndevice from rfkill by rfkill_unregister().\n\nSo, the device is still visible via rfkill even after nci_dev.cmd_wq\nis destroyed.\n\nLet's unregister the device from rfkill first in nci_unregister_device().\n\nNote that we cannot call nfc_unregister_device() before\nnci_close_device() because\n\n 1) nfc_unregister_device() calls device_del() which frees\n all memory allocated by devm_kzalloc() and linked to\n ndev->conn_info_list\n\n 2) nci_rx_work() could try to queue nci_conn_info to\n ndev->conn_info_list which could be leaked\n\nThus, nfc_unregister_device() is split into two functions so we\ncan remove rfkill interfaces only before nci_close_device().\n\n[0]:\nDEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(1)\nWARNING: kernel/locking/lockdep.c:238 at hlock_class kernel/locking/lockdep.c:238 [inline], CPU#0:

una reproducci\u00f3n. Indica que la estructura nci_dev.cmd_wq hab\u00eda sido destruida antes de que se llamara a nci_close_device() a trav\u00e9s de rfkill. nci_dev.cmd_wq solo se destruye en nci_unregister_device(), que (creo) fue llamada desde virtual_ncidev_close() cuando syzbot cerr\u00f3 un 'fd' de virtual_ncidev. El problema es que nci_unregister_device() destruye nci_dev.cmd_wq primero y luego llama a nfc_unregister_device(), que elimina el dispositivo de rfkill mediante rfkill_unregister(). As\u00ed, el dispositivo sigue siendo visible a trav\u00e9s de rfkill incluso despu\u00e9s de que nci_dev.cmd_wq sea destruida. Desregistremos el dispositivo de rfkill primero en nci_unregister_device(). Tenga en cuenta que no podemos llamar a nfc_unregister_device() antes de nci_close_device() porque 1) nfc_unregister_device() llama a device_del() que libera toda la memoria asignada por devm_kzalloc() y vinculada a ndev-&gt;conn_info_list 2) nci_rx_work() podr\u00eda intentar encolar nci_conn_info a ndev-&gt;conn_info_list lo que podr\u00eda provocar una fuga de memoria Por lo tanto, nfc_unregister_device() se divide en dos funciones para que podamos eliminar las interfaces de rfkill solo antes de nci_close_device().

called from virtual_ncidev_close() when syzbot close()d\nan fd of virtual_ncidev.\nThe problem is that nci_unregister_device() destroys nci_dev.cmd_wq\nfirst and then calls nfc_unregister_device(), which removes the\ndevice from rfkill by rfkill_unregister().\nSo, the device is still visible via rfkill even after nci_dev.cmd_wq\nis destroyed.\nLet's unregister the device from rfkill first in nci_unregister_device().\nNote that we cannot call nfc_unregister_device() before\nnci_close_device() because\n1) nfc_unregister_device() calls device_del() which frees\nall memory allocated by

If the workqueue is freed before the device is unregistered from rfkill, the system may retain a dangling reference to freed memory, potentially leading to a kernel crash. The main consequence is a local denial of service that could reboot the system or corrupt kernel state.

The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and it appears to require local privilege to trigger. Attackers would need to open and close an NFC device\u2014for example, by naming a tty on a device that remains after rfkill unregistering\u2014as a precondition for the race. If successful, the system may panic or crash, causing denial of service, but no known exploit chain leads to arbitrary code execution."}}}}, "created": "2026-02-16T09:44:23.393206+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-17T19:45:25.882851+00:00", "vendors": ["linux", "linux$PRODUCT$linux_kernel"]}
