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: [ 123.137788] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock) [ 123.137796] WARNING: kernel/locking/mutex.c:159 at mutex_lock+0x171/0x1c0, CPU#13: mkdir/1301 [ 123.140090] Modules linked in: null_blk(+) nft_fib_inet nft_fib_ipv4 ......

These are all security issues fixed in the kernel-devel-7.2.7-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.
