In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/ism: add release function for struct device
According to device_release() in /drivers/base/core.c,
a device without a release function is a broken device
and must be fixed.
The current code directly frees the device after calling device_add()
without waiting for other kernel parts to release their references.
Thus, a reference could still be held to a struct device,
e.g., by sysfs, leading to potential use-after-free
issues if a proper release function is not set.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

CVE-2025-21856 kernel: s390/ism: add release function for struct device
bugzilla·2025-03-12·CVSS 7.8
CVE-2025-21856 [HIGH] CVE-2025-21856 kernel: s390/ism: add release function for struct device
CVE-2025-21856 kernel: s390/ism: add release function for struct device
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/ism: add release function for struct device
According to device_release() in /drivers/base/core.c,
a device without a release function is a broken device
and must be fixed.
The current code directly frees the device after calling device_add()
without waiting for other kernel parts to release their references.
Thus, a reference could still be held to a struct device,
e.g., by sysfs, leading to potential use-after-free
issues if a proper release function is not set.
