CVE-2026-23369

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

i2c: i801: Revert "i2c: i801: replace acpi_lock with I2C bus lock"

This reverts commit f707d6b9e7c18f669adfdb443906d46cfbaaa0c1.

Under rare circumstances, multiple udev threads can collect i801 device
info on boot and walk i801_acpi_io_handler somewhat concurrently. The
first will note the area is reserved by acpi to prevent further touches.
This ultimately causes the area to be deregistered. The second will
enter i801_acpi_io_handler after the area is unregistered but before a
check can be made that the area is unregistered. i2c_lock_bus relies on
the now unregistered area containing lock_ops to lock the bus. The end
result is a kernel panic on boot with the following backtrace;
