Published: 9/12/2025 Last updated: 9/29/2025 Reserved: 4/16/2025

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: lapbether: ignore ops-locked netdevs Syzkaller managed to trigger lock dependency in xsk_notify via register_netdevice. As discussed in [0], using register_netdevice in the notifiers is problematic so skip adding lapbeth for ops-locked devices. xsk_notifier+0xa4/0x280 net/xdp/xsk.c:1645 notifier_call_chain+0xbc/0x410 kernel/notifier.c:85 call_netdevice_notifiers_info+0xbe/0x140 net/core/dev.c:2230 call_netdevice_notifiers_extack net/core/dev.c:2268 [inline] call_netdevice_notifiers net/core/dev.c:2282 [inline] unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0xf9d/0x2700 net/core/dev.c:12077 unregister_netdevice_many net/core/dev.c:12140 [inline] unregister_netdevice_queue+0x305/0x3f0 net/core/dev.c:11984 register_netdevice+0x18f1/0x2270 net/core/dev.c:11149 lapbeth_new_device drivers/net/wan/lapbether.c:420 [inline] lapbeth_device_event+0x5b1/0xbe0 drivers/net/wan/lapbether.c:462 notifier_call_chain+0xbc/0x410 kernel/notifier.c:85 call_netdevice_notifiers_info+0xbe/0x140 net/core/dev.c:2230 call_netdevice_notifiers_extack net/core/dev.c:2268 [inline] call_netdevice_notifiers net/core/dev.c:2282 [inline] __dev_notify_flags+0x12c/0x2e0 net/core/dev.c:9497 netif_change_flags+0x108/0x160 net/core/dev.c:9526 dev_change_flags+0xba/0x250 net/core/dev_api.c:68 devinet_ioctl+0x11d5/0x1f50 net/ipv4/devinet.c:1200 inet_ioctl+0x3a7/0x3f0 net/ipv4/af_inet.c:1001 0: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250625140357.6203d0af@kernel.org/
