CVE-2026-23104

/// Technical description

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

ice: fix devlink reload call trace

Commit 4da71a77fc3b ("ice: read internal temperature sensor") introduced

internal temperature sensor reading via HWMON. ice_hwmon_init() was added

to ice_init_feature() and ice_hwmon_exit() was added to ice_remove(). As a

result if devlink reload is used to reinit the device and then the driver

is removed, a call trace can occur.

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0fd4b5d

Call Trace:

string+0x48/0xe0

vsnprintf+0x1f9/0x650

sprintf+0x62/0x80

name_show+0x1f/0x30

dev_attr_show+0x19/0x60

The call trace repeats approximately every 10 minutes when system

monitoring tools (e.g., sadc) attempt to read the orphaned hwmon sysfs

attributes 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 fr
