Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: regulator: pca9450: Use devm_register_sys_off_handler With module test, there is error dump: ------------[ cut here ]------------ notifier callback pca9450_i2c_restart_handler already registered WARNING: kernel/notifier.c:23 at notifier_chain_register+0x5c/0x88, CPU#0: kworker/u16:3/50 Call trace: notifier_chain_register+0x5c/0x88 (P) atomic_notifier_chain_register+0x30/0x58 register_restart_handler+0x1c/0x28 pca9450_i2c_probe+0x418/0x538 i2c_device_probe+0x220/0x3d0 really_probe+0x114/0x410 __driver_probe_device+0xa0/0x150 driver_probe_device+0x40/0x114 __device_attach_driver+0xd4/0x12c So use devm_register_sys_off_handler to let kernel handle the resource free to avoid kernel dump.

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
