      <title>CVE-2026-99250 — printk: Postpone kthread startup</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-99250</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;printk: Postpone kthread startup&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There have been various bug reports related to SMP systems hanging
on boot. The reports vary but seem to have some overlap with regard
to missed IPI&amp;#39;s during SMP setup. The reports also show that
reverting NBCON console usage allows the bugs to disappear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The NBCON kthreads for console printing are started very early
during boot using early_initcall(). Since these kthreads are
asynchronously enabling/disabling interrupts during early boot, they
may be interfering with early SMP setup on some hardware platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Starting the console printing kthreads later has shown to avoid the
hanging on systems that could previously reproduce the issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Postpone kthread starting until after all arch initcalls have
completed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
