First, dev_set_drvdata() is called before\nspin_lock_init() and idr_init(), leaving a window where the callback\ncan retrieve a valid cctx pointer but operate on an uninitialized\nspinlock. Second, the rpmsg channel becomes live as soon as the driver\nis bound, so fastrpc_rpmsg_callback() can fire before dev_set_drvdata()\nis called at all, resulting in dev_get_drvdata() returning NULL.\n\nFix both issues by moving all cctx initialization ahead of\ndev_set_drvdata() so the structure is fully initialized before it\nbecomes visible to the callback, and add a NULL check in\nfastrpc_rpmsg_callback() as a guard against any remaining window.","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/0d8c64511fd45690c5326f013710efcb4f73a97e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/150bf6f1193c69252580c19d3b3cd631ddce61d7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4bfdf0a9855df55e9e031ca6a25b855820590c70","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5401fb4fe10fac6134c308495df18ed74aebb9c4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8fb4a23df5b7c02929b62e5dbc270ec7c42b8134"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:41:17.107060303+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53158","score":0.00123,"percentile":0.01991,"date":"2026-11-01"},"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).
