Fix this by using READ_ONCE()\nwhen fetching the pointer, and take bus' drivers klist lock to make sure\ndriver instance will not disappear while we access it.\n\nUse WRITE_ONCE() when setting the driver pointer to ensure there is no\ntearing.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/18daa52418e7e4629ed1703b64777294209d2622","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b344e779d9afd0fcb5ee4000e4d0fc7d8d867eb","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3781e4b83e174364998855de777e184cf0b62c40","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/abe56be73eb10a677d16066f65ff9d30251f5eee"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:01:22.920403922+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-37800","score":0.00207,"percentile":0.10714,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
