Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89455)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89455). 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:
PCI: plda: Fix use-after-free of event IRQs during teardown
plda_pcie_irq_domain_deinit() removes pcie->event_domain via
irq_domain_remove(), but the per-event IRQs mapped from that domain
are requested with devm_request_irq() in plda_init_interrupts(). The
actual free_irq() for a devm-managed IRQ is deferred by devres until
after the calling probe()/remove() function returns.
This means irq_domain_remove() can free the domain's internal data
before the deferred free_irq() for IRQs still mapped into it has run.
When devres later processes that deferred cleanup, it can end up
dereferencing the already-freed domain.
Free each event IRQ explicitly with devm_free_irq() before removing
the domain. This triggers the free immediately and removes the IRQ
from the devres tracking list, so devres will not attempt to free it
a second time later.
Also dispose of the event, INTx, and MSI IRQ mappings with
irq_dispose_mapping() before their owning domains are removed.
Finally, guard the calls to irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() for
pcie->irq, pcie->msi_irq, and pcie->intx_irq so they only run when
those fields hold a valid (>0) IRQ number.
This is a pre-existing issue, flagged by automated review during work
on an earlier, unrelated patch to this driver.
Build-tested and boot-tested on StarFive VisionFive v1.2A board

CVE-2026-89455 (Linux kernel)
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
