CWE-667

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: r8169: fix LED-related deadlock on module removal Binding devm_led_classdev_register() to the netdev is problematic because on module removal we get a RTNL-related deadlock. Fix this by avoiding the device-managed LED functions. Note: We can safely call led_classdev_unregister() for a LED even if registering it failed, because led_classdev_unregister() detects this and is a no-op in this case.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 6.8 < 6.8.8) • linux linux kernel 6.9 • fedoraproject fedora 38 • fedoraproject fedora 39 • fedoraproject fedora 40
