CVE-2026-45977

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbnic: close fw_log race between users and teardown Fixes a theoretical race on fw_log between the teardown path and fw_log write functions. fw_log is written inside fbnic_fw_log_write() and can be reached from the mailbox handler fbnic_fw_msix_intr(), but fw_log is freed before IRQ/MBX teardown during cleanup, resulting in a potential data race of dereferencing a freed/null variable. Possible Interleaving Scenario: CPU0: fbnic_fw_msix_intr() // Entry fbnic_fw_log_write() if (fbnic_fw_log_ready()) // true ... preempt ... CPU1: fbnic_remove() // Entry fbnic_fw_log_free() vfree(log->data_start); log->data_start = NULL; CPU0: continues, walks log->entries or writes to log->data_start The initialization also has an incorrect order problem, as the fw_log is currently allocated after MBX setup during initialization. Fix the problems by adjusting the synchronization order to put initialization in place before the mailbox is e...
