BELL-CVE-2026-90190

Affected: Alpaquita:23: linux-lts, Alpaquita:25: linux-lts, Alpaquita:stream: linux-lts

fkie_cve-2026-90190

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

null_blk: use DEFINE_MUTEX for the file-scope mutex

In null_init(), mutex_init(&lock) currently happens after configfs_register_subsystem(), which exposes the nullb subsystem to userspace. A racing mkdir() into /sys/kernel/config/nullb/ can reach null_find_dev_by_name() -> mutex_lock(&lock) before the mutex is initialized, trigger warning:

Replace the runtime mutex_init(&lock) with a static DEFINE_MUTEX(lock) declaration to fix this issue.
