In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: pnv_php: Clean up allocated IRQs on unplug
When the root of a nested PCIe bridge configuration is unplugged, the
pnv_php driver leaked the allocated IRQ resources for the child bridges'
hotplug event notifications, resulting in a panic.
Fix this by walking all child buses and deallocating all its IRQ resources
before calling pci_hp_remove_devices().
Also modify the lifetime of the workqueue at struct pnv_php_slot::wq so
that it is only destroyed in pnv_php_free_slot(), instead of
pnv_php_disable_irq(). This is required since pnv_php_disable_irq() will
now be called by workers triggered by hot unplug interrupts, so the
workqueue needs to stay allocated.
The abridged kernel panic that occurs without this patch is as follows:
