CVE-2026-81005

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipmi: si: Fix NULL pointer dereference after failed registration try_smi_init() allocates new_smi->si_sm and later calls ipmi_register_smi_mod(), which maps to ipmi_add_smi(). During ipmi_add_smi(), the upper IPMI message handler obtains the initial BMC device information through __bmc_get_device_id(). This can fail if the BMC does not return a successful response to the Get Device ID command. When the BMC returns a nonzero completion code, the device-id helper retries the command and eventually returns -EIO if the device ID still cannot be fetched. On this failure path, ipmi_add_smi() logs "Unable to get the device id" and goes to out_err_started, where it invokes the lower driver's shutdown callback. try_smi_init() then logs the returned registration failure: ipmi_si IPI0001:00: IPMI message handler: Unable to get the device id: -5 ipmi_si IPI0001:00: Unable to register device: error -5 For ipmi_si, the shutdown c...
