Store the rfkill pointer in a local variable\nbefore releasing the lock, then call rfkill_unregister() after releasing\ndevice_lock.\n\nThis change is safe because rfkill_fop_write() holds rfkill_global_mutex\nwhile calling the rfkill callbacks, and rfkill_unregister() also acquires\nrfkill_global_mutex before cleanup. Therefore, rfkill_unregister() will\nwait for any ongoing callback to complete before proceeding, and\ndevice_del() is only called after rfkill_unregister() returns, preventing\nany use-after-free.\n\nThe similar lock ordering in nfc_register_device() (device_lock ->\nrfkill_global_mutex via rfkill_register) is safe because during\nregistration the device is not yet in rfkill_list, so no concurrent\nrfkill operations can occur on this device.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-01-13T15:34:44.136+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-15T01:10:35.498+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
