In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: fix 'scheduling while atomic' on aux critical err interrupt There's a kernel BUG splat on processing aux critical error interrupts in ice_misc_intr(): [ 2100.917085] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/15/0/0x00010000 ... [ 2101.060770] Call Trace: [ 2101.063229] <IRQ> [ 2101.065252] dump_stack+0x41/0x60 [ 2101.068587] __schedule_bug.cold.100+0x4c/0x58 [ 2101.073060] __schedule+0x6a4/0x830 [ 2101.076570] schedule+0x35/0xa0 [ 2101.079727] schedule_preempt_disabled+0xa/0x10 [ 2101.084284] __mutex_lock.isra.7+0x310/0x420 [ 2101.088580] ? ice_misc_intr+0x201/0x2e0 [ice] [ 2101.093078] ice_send_event_to_aux+0x25/0x70 [ice] [ 2101.097921] ice_misc_intr+0x220/0x2e0 [ice] [ 2101.102232] __handle_irq_event_percpu+0x40/0x180 [ 2101.106965] handle_irq_event_percpu+0x30/0x80 [ 2101.111434] handle_irq_event+0x36/0x53 [ 2101.115292] handle_edge_irq+0x82/0x190 [ 2101.119148] handle_irq+0x1c/0x30 [ 2101.122480] do_IRQ+0x49/0xd0 [ 2101.125465] common_interrupt+0xf/0xf [ 2101.129146] </IRQ> ... As Andrew correctly mentioned previously[0], the following call ladder happens: ice_misc_intr() <- hardirq ice_send_event_to_aux() device_lock() mutex_lock() might_sleep() might_resched() <- oops Add a new PF state bit which indicates that an aux critical error occurred and serve it in ice_service_task() in process context. The new ice_pf::oicr_err_reg is read-write in both hardirq and process contexts, but only 3 bits of non-critical data probably aren't worth explicit synchronizing (and they're even in the same byte [31:24]).

This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.5, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from linux organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2025, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For linux's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
