"The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-21943 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpio: aggregator: protect driver attr
    handlers against module unload Both new_device_store and delete_device_store touch module global resources
    (e.g. gpio_aggregator_lock). To prevent race conditions with module unload, a reference needs to be held.
    Add try_module_get() in these handlers. For new_device_store, this eliminates what appears to be the most
    dangerous scenario: if an id is allocated from gpio_aggregator_idr but platform_device_register has not
    yet been called or completed, a concurrent module unload could fail to unregister/delete the device,
    leaving behind a dangling platform device/GPIO forwarder. This can result in various issues. The following
    simple reproducer demonstrates these problems: #!/bin/bash while :; do # note: whether 'gpiochip0 0'
    exists or not does not matter. echo 'gpiochip0 0' > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/gpio-aggregator/new_device
    done & while :; do modprobe gpio-aggregator modprobe -r gpio-aggregator done & wait Starting with the
    following warning, several kinds of warnings will appear and the system May become unstable: ------------[
