CVE-2026-72375

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description An issue exists in the AFS component where the afs vnode::lock work variable is not sufficiently initialized. Initializing it only once within the slab's init function is inadequate for work structs, which can lead to warnings during debugging. The problem occurs because the ->lock work needs to be reinitialized after an inode is allocated and must be flushed when the inode is evicted to ensure it is no longer running.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
