LIN1023-19690 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-23475

Created: Apr 7, 2026    Updated: Apr 9, 2026
Found In Version: 10.23.30.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 23
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

spi: fix statistics allocation

The controller per-cpu statistics is not allocated until after the
controller has been registered with driver core, which leaves a window
where accessing the sysfs attributes can trigger a NULL-pointer
dereference.

Fix this by moving the statistics allocation to controller allocation
while tying its lifetime to that of the controller (rather than using
implicit devres).
