A warning that the lock is being unlocked when no one holds it.\n 2. An incorrect unlock of a lock that belongs to another thread.\n\nFix it by removing the now-redundant pci_dev_unlock(dev) on the failure\npath.\n\n[Same patch later posted by Keith at\nhttps://patch.msgid.link/20260116184150.3013258-1-kbusch@meta.com]" } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The vulnerable path is reached through local PCI reset interfaces, most plausibly VFIO PCI hot reset on an assigned device or privileged PCI reset paths. It is not exposed through network packet processing or an adjacent/physical protocol parser.\nAC:L - The failure path requires lock contention, but a local attacker with access to reset-capable PCI interfaces can create concurrent reset/config-lock activity with repeated attempts. Under the required higher-severity rule, this is treated as attacker-controlled race complexity.\nPR:L - Although some sysfs PCI reset paths require real administrative control, VFIO PCI device access can be delegated to a non-root local user or VM management process without CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the vulnerable ioctl path. Therefore the highest defensible scenario is low privileges rather than high.\nUI:N - Once the attacker has access to the local PCI/VFIO reset interface, exploitation only requires issuing concurrent operations. No separate victim user action is needed.\nS:U - The bug corrupts kernel PCI locking state within the same host kernel security authority. This is treated as standard local kernel compromise/DoS rather than a demonstrated cross-scope escape.\nC:H - The incorrect unlock can release a PCI device/config-access lock held by another thread, breaking kernel mutual exclusion during reset and driver callbacks. Given the possibility of repeated controlled races and kernel state corruption, confidentiality impact is scored high under the higher-severity rule.\nI:H - Incorrectly unlocking another thread's PCI device lock can allow concurrent modification of PCI device, driver, and reset state while code assumes exclusive access. This can plausibly lead to kernel state corruption or control-flow-relevant corruption, so integrity is high.\nA:H - The documented immediate outcomes include WARN conditions and invalid lock ownership/unlock behavior, which can oops, panic, deadlock, or destabilize PCI reset paths. Repeated triggering can cause host kernel availability loss." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
