CVE-2026-31749 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: comedi: ni_atmio16d: Fix invalid clean-up after failed attach If the driver's COMEDI "attach" handler function (`atmio16d_attach()`) returns an error, the COMEDI core will call the driver's "detach" handler function (`atmio16d_detach()`) to clean up. This calls `reset_atmio16d()` unconditionally, but depending on where the error occurred in the attach handler, the device may not have been sufficiently initialized to call `reset_atmio16d()`. It uses `dev->iobase` as the I/O port base address and `dev->private` as the pointer to the COMEDI device's private data structure. `dev->iobase` may still be set to its initial value of 0, which would result in undesired writes to low I/O port addresses. `dev->private` may still be `NULL`, which would result in null pointer dereferences. Fix `atmio16d_detach()` by checking that `dev->private` is valid (non-null) before calling `reset_atmio16d()`. This implies that `dev->iobase` was set correctly since that is set up before `dev->private`.
A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's COMEDI driver for the National Instruments AT-MIO-16D device. When the driver's 'attach' function fails, the COMEDI core calls the 'detach' function to clean up. This process, however, can lead to issues because the 'detach' function unconditionally resets the device, potentially causing null pointer dereferences or erroneous writes to low I/O port addresses. The problem arises because the device may not be fully initialized after a failed attachment, leaving the I/O base address at its default of zero and the private data pointer null. The vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
