      <title>CVE-2026-97956 — net: net_failover: Fix the deadlock in net_failover_slave_name_change()</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-97956</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net: net_failover: Fix the deadlock in net_failover_slave_name_change()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a sibling fix of commit
b84c5632c7b3 (&amp;#34;net: net_failover: Fix the deadlock in slave register&amp;#34;).
There is netdev_lock_ops() in the upper callers, so using netif_open()
instead of dev_open().&lt;/p&gt;
