A debug printk() patch\nfound that j1939_session_activate() can succeed even after\nj1939_cancel_active_session() from j1939_netdev_notify(NETDEV_UNREGISTER)\nhas completed.\n\nSince j1939_cancel_active_session() is processed with the session list lock\nheld, checking ndev->reg_state in j1939_session_activate() with the session\nlist lock held can reliably close the race window.","published":"2026-01-31T12:16:03.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T19:17:16.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-362"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00137,"percentile":0.03063,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.14%).
