Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the `arm_scmi` firmware component of the Linux kernel. A race condition can occur during the unregistration of device notifiers and the teardown of the `active_protocols` IDR (ID allocator). This timing issue could potentially lead to system instability or a denial of service (DoS) due to improper memory handling during the removal process.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 17:13:26 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

firmware: arm_scmi: Unregister device notifier before IDR teardown

The requested-devices notifier looks up protocol fwnodes from the
active_protocols IDR. During remove, unregister the notifier before
releasing and destroying active_protocols so no notifier callback can race
with the IDR teardown.

Keep the bus notifier registered until after the protocol state is torn
down, matching the existing remove ordering for SCMI bus users.
