In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: lan743x: Initialize eth_syslock spinlock before use
lan743x_hardware_init() calls pci11x1x_strap_get_status() during the
PCI11x1x probe sequence. That helper acquires the Ethernet subsystem
hardware lock via lan743x_hs_syslock_acquire(), which relies on
adapter->eth_syslock_spinlock to serialize access.
The spinlock is currently initialized only after the strap status is
read. With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled, taking the zeroed initialized
spinlock can trip the spinlock debug check.
Fix by initializing adapter->eth_syslock_spinlock before reading the
strap status so the probe path never attempts to lock an uninitialized
spinlock.
