It contains a member `spinlock`\ncontaining a spin-lock that is initialized by the COMEDI subsystem, but\nis reserved for use by a low-level driver attached to the COMEDI device\n(at least since commit 25436dc9d84f (\"Staging: comedi: remove RT\ncode\")).\n\nSome COMEDI devices (those created on initialization of the COMEDI\nsubsystem when the \"comedi.comedi_num_legacy_minors\" parameter is\nnon-zero) can be attached to different low-level drivers over their\nlifetime using the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl command.  This can result in\ninconsistent lock states being reported when there is a mismatch in the\nspin-lock locking levels used by each low-level driver to which the\nCOMEDI device has been attached.  Fix it by reinitializing\n`dev->spinlock` before calling the low-level driver's `attach` function\npointer if `CONFIG_LOCKDEP` is enabled.","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":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b1f49e4fdff3ef0f8e9158bbb5b149e06287560","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3181c34b415c5464be9d34bff3e43ef63b747039","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/430291d8f3884f57ae0057049b0ca291453e29e1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4b9a9a6d71e3e252032f959fb3895a33acb5865c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4d5ffe524903a30e2e0da7d16841a56bec2de55c"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:55.586217763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-43340","score":0.00114,"percentile":0.01474,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
