CVE ID : CVE-2025-68762<\/p>\n
Published : Jan. 5, 2026, 9:32 a.m. | 53\u00a0minutes ago<\/p>\n
Description : In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<\/p>\n
net: netpoll: initialize work queue before error checks<\/p>\n
Prevent a kernel warning when netconsole setup fails on devices with
\nIFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL flag. The warning (at kernel\/workqueue.c:4242 in
\n__flush_work) occurs because the cleanup path tries to cancel an
\nuninitialized work queue.<\/p>\n
When __netpoll_setup() encounters a device with IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL,
\nit fails early and calls skb_pool_flush() for cleanup. This function
\ncalls cancel_work_sync(&np->refill_wq), but refill_wq hasn’t been
\ninitialized yet, triggering the warning.<\/p>\n
Move INIT_WORK() to the beginning of __netpoll_setup(), ensuring the
\nwork queue is properly initialized before any potential failure points.
\nThis allows the cleanup path to safely cancel the work queue regardless
\nof where the setup fails.<\/p>\n
Severity: 0.0 | NA<\/p>\n
