# CVE-2025-40347: linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: enetc: fix the deadlock of enetc_mdio_lock... CVE-2025-40347 is fixed in 18 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40347, released December 16, 2025. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2025-40347 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.5 (high) - EPSS: 0.0053 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Dec 16, 2025 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: enetc: fix the deadlock of enetc_mdio_lock After applying the workaround for err050089, the LS1028A platform experiences RCU stalls on RT kernel. This issue is caused by the recursive acquisition of the read lock enetc_mdio_lock. Here list some of the call stacks identified under the enetc_poll path that may lead to a deadlock: enetc_poll -> enetc_lock_mdio -> enetc_clean_rx_ring OR napi_complete_done -> napi_gro_receive -> enetc_start_xmit -> enetc_lock_mdio -> enetc_map_tx_buffs -> enetc_unlock_mdio -> enetc_unlock_mdio After enetc_poll acquires the read lock, a higher-priority writer attempts to acquire the lock, causing preemption. The writer detects that a read lock is already held and is scheduled out. However, readers under enetc_poll cannot acquire the read lock again because a writer is already waiting, leading to a thread hang. Currently, the deadlock is avoided by adjusting enetc_lock_mdio to prevent recursive lock acquisition. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| |
