It's\nprobably due to a premature interrupt for one of two reasons:\n\n1. The driver sets up the interrupt handler before the comedi subdevices\n   used by the interrupt handler have been allocated, but does not\n   disable the interrupt in the parallel port's CTRL register first.\n2. The driver uses a user-supplied I/O port base address which Syzbot\n   would have supplied, but it might not be backed by real parallel port\n   hardware.\n\nChange the initialization order in the driver's comedi \"attach\" handler\n(`parport_attach()`) so that the hardware registers are initialized\nbefore the interrupt handler is requested.  This should prevent\npremature interrupts occurring for real hardware.\n\nAlso add a test to the interrupt handler to ensure the comedi device is\nfully attached and return early if it isn't.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/086a9ae3c5df63ec11033a8c0b3f6a1fd295ddd1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/17221216ae8ce6a24e8a4e787382e3ebc81b88a8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/48ef18e5eb6b8a9c546038b2ab89a841fcd97fe7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d059ce0e6a2f6f8b97273499d47b8f917097b48","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6ed34611e569fc1a1169905c5228fd0eb2806c1b"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:47:54.990491175+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-68182","score":0.00211,"percentile":0.11293,"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).
