CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's handling of IRQ domains during the initialization process of PCI devices, specifically within the plda_init_interrupts() function. If initialization fails, the system may leak IRQ domains, leading to potential resource exhaustion or instability. Organizations using Linux-based systems, particularly those relying on PCI devices, should prioritize addressing this issue to ensure system reliability and prevent potential exploitation.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: plda: Fix IRQ domain leaks in the error paths of plda_init_interrupts() plda_init_interrupts() initializes IRQ domains and creates IRQ mapping but does not unwind them when later step fails. If platform_get_irq() or either irq_create_mapping() fails in plda_init_interrupts(), the domains are never deinitialized. If irq_create_mapping() fails, port->intx_irq stays initialized. Hence, remove the IRQ domains in the error path by calling plda_pcie_irq_domain_deinit(). Since plda_pcie_irq_domain_deinit() now disposes of the intx_irq and msi_irq mappings itself before removing their domains, the msi_irq mapping failure path can go directly to err_irq_domain_deinit instead of disposing of port->intx_irq separately first.
