CVE-2026-23104

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:ice: fix devlink reload call traceCommit 4da71a77fc3b (ice: read internal temperature sensor) introducedinternal temperature sensor reading via HWMON. ice_hwmon_init() was addedto ice_init_feature() and ice_hwmon_exit() was added to ice_remove(). As aresult if devlink reload is used to reinit the device and then the driveris removed, a call trace can occur.BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0fd4b5dCall Trace: string+0x48/0xe0 vsnprintf+0x1f9/0x650 sprintf+0x62/0x80 name_show+0x1f/0x30 dev_attr_show+0x19/0x60The call trace repeats approximately every 10 minutes when systemmonitoring tools (e.g., sadc) attempt to read the orphaned hwmon sysfsattributes that reference freed module memory.The sequence is:1. Driver load, ice_hwmon_init() gets called from ice_init_feature()2. Devlink reload down, flow does not call ice_remove()3. Devlink reload up, ice_hwmon_init() gets called from ice_init_feature() resulting in a second instance4. Driver unload, ice_hwmon_exit() called from ice_remove() leaving the first hwmon instance orphaned with dangling pointerFix this by moving ice_hwmon_exit() from ice_remove() toice_deinit_features() to ensure proper cleanup symmetry withice_hwmon_init().
