CVE-2026-43340

EUVD-2026-28624
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

comedi: Reinit dev->spinlock between attachments to low-level drivers

`struct comedi_device` is the main controlling structure for a COMEDI
device created by the COMEDI subsystem.  It contains a member `spinlock`
containing a spin-lock that is initialized by the COMEDI subsystem, but
is reserved for use by a low-level driver attached to the COMEDI device
(at least since commit 25436dc9d84f ("Staging: comedi: remove RT
code")).

Some COMEDI devices (those created on initialization of the COMEDI
subsystem when the "comedi.comedi_num_legacy_minors" parameter is
non-zero) can be attached to different low-level drivers over their
lifetime using the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl command.  This can result in
inconsistent lock states being reported when there is a mismatch in the
spin-lock locking levels used by each low-level driver to which the
COMEDI device has been attached.  Fix it by reinitializing
`dev->spinlock` before calling the low-level driver's `attach` function
pointer if `CONFIG_LOCKDEP` is enabled.
