      <title>CVE-2026-53231 — net: phy: don't try to setup PHY-driven SFP cages when using genphy</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-53231</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net: phy: don&amp;#39;t try to setup PHY-driven SFP cages when using genphy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We don&amp;#39;t have support for PHY-driver SFP cages with the genphy code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On top of that, it was found by sashiko that running
sfp_bus_add_upstream() for genphy deadlocks, as for genphy the PHY
probing runs under RTNL, which isn&amp;#39;t the case for non-genphy drivers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This problem was reproduced, and does lead to a deadlock on RTNL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before the blamed commit, the phy_sfp_probe() call was made by
individual PHY drivers, so there was no way to get to the SFP probing
path when using genphy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s therefore only run phy_sfp_probe when not using genphy.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
