Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-68182)

Summary

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-68182). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

comedi: comedi_parport: deal with premature interrupt

Syzbot reported a general protection fault in
comedi_get_is_subdevice_running(), which was called from the interrupt
handler parport_interrupt() in the "comedi_parport" driver, but it
does not currently have a C reproducer for the problem. It's
probably due to a premature interrupt for one of two reasons:

  1. The driver sets up the interrupt handler before the comedi subdevices
    used by the interrupt handler have been allocated, but does not
    disable the interrupt in the parallel port's CTRL register first.
  2. The driver uses a user-supplied I/O port base address which Syzbot
    would have supplied, but it might not be backed by real parallel port
    hardware.

Change the initialization order in the driver's comedi "attach" handler
(parport_attach()) so that the hardware registers are initialized
before the interrupt handler is requested. This should prevent
premature interrupts occurring for real hardware.

Also add a test to the interrupt handler to ensure the comedi device is
fully attached and return early if it isn't.
