Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-64430)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-64430). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NTB: epf: Avoid calling pci_irq_vector() from hardirq context
ntb_epf_vec_isr() calls pci_irq_vector() in hardirq context to derive
the vector number. pci_irq_vector() calls msi_get_virq() that takes a
mutex and can therefore trigger "scheduling while atomic" splats:
BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u33:0/55/0x00010001
...
Call trace:

...
Cache the Linux IRQ number for vector 0 when vectors are allocated and
use it as a base in the ISR. Running the ISR in a threaded IRQ handler
would also avoid the problem, but that would be unnecessary here.
