In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: fix unregister_netdev call order in macb_remove()
When removing a macb device, the driver calls phy_exit() before
unregister_netdev(). This leads to a WARN from kernfs:
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernfs: can not remove 'attached_dev', no directory
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 27146 at fs/kernfs/dir.c:1683
Call trace:
kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0xd8/0xf0

...
macb_remove+0x60/0x168 [macb]
platform_remove+0x5c/0x80
...
The warning happens because the PHY is being exited while the netdev
is still registered. The correct order is to unregister the netdev
before shutting down the PHY and cleaning up the MDIO bus.
Fix this by moving unregister_netdev() ahead of phy_exit() in
macb_remove().

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.
