From: Dmitry Antipov <dmantipov@yandex.ru> stable inclusion from stable-v5.15.183 commit f1c71b4bd721a4ea21da408806964b10468623f2 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/ICBIZQ CVE: CVE-2025-37995 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit a6aeb739974ec73e5217c75a7c008a688d3d5cf1 upstream. In 'lookup_or_create_module_kobject()', an internal kobject is created using 'module_ktype'. So call to 'kobject_put()' on error handling path causes an attempt to use an uninitialized completion pointer in 'module_kobject_release()'. In this scenario, we just want to release kobject without an extra synchronization required for a regular module unloading process, so adding an extra check whether 'complete()' is actually required makes 'kobject_put()' safe.
