To prevent race conditions with\nmodule unload, a reference needs to be held.\nAdd try_module_get() in these handlers.\nFor new_device_store, this eliminates what appears to be the most dangerous\nscenario: if an id is allocated from gpio_aggregator_idr but\nplatform_device_register has not yet been called or completed, a concurrent\nmodule unload could fail to unregister/delete the device, leaving behind a\ndangling platform device/GPIO forwarder. This can result in various issues.\nThe following simple reproducer demonstrates these problems:\n#!/bin/bash\nwhile :; do\n# note: whether 'gpiochip0 0' exists or not does not matter.\necho 'gpiochip0 0' > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/gpio-aggregator/new_device\ndone &\nwhile :; do\nmodprobe gpio-aggregator\nmodprobe -r gpio-aggregator\ndone &\nwait\nStarting with the following warning, several kinds of warnings will appear\nand the system may become unstable:\n------------[ cut here ]------------\nlist_del corruption, ffff888103e2e980->next is LIST_POISON1 (dead000000000100)\nWARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1327 at lib/list_debug.c:56 __list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0xa3/0x120\n[...]\nRIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0xa3/0x120\n[...]\nCall Trace:\n<TASK>\n? __list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0xa3/0x120\n? __warn.cold+0x93/0xf2\n? __list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0xa3/0x120\n? report_bug+0xe6/0x170\n? __irq_work_queue_local+0x39/0xe0\n? handle_bug+0x58/0x90\n? exc_invalid_op+0x13/0x60\n? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x16/0x20\n? __list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0xa3/0x120\ngpiod_remove_lookup_table+0x22/0x60\nnew_device_store+0x315/0x350 [gpio_aggregator]\nkernfs_fop_write_iter+0x137/0x1f0\nvfs_write+0x262/0x430\nksys_write+0x60/0xd0\ndo_syscall_64+0x6c/0x180\nentry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\n[...]\n</TASK>\n---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---"], "name": "CVE-2025-21943", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:6", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}], "public_date": "2025-04-01T00:00:00Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-21943\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-21943\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2025040135-CVE-2025-21943-2255@gregkh/T"], "threat_severity": "Moderate"}
