Vendor / product: Linux — linux kernel

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-vntb: Remove duplicate resource teardown epf_ntb_epc_destroy() duplicates the teardown that the caller is supposed to perform later. This leads to an oops when .allow_link fails or when .drop_link is performed. The following is an example oops of the former case: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dead000000000108 [...] [dead000000000108] address between user and kernel address ranges Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000044 [#1] SMP [...] Call trace: pci_epc_remove_epf+0x78/0xe0 (P) pci_primary_epc_epf_link+0x88/0xa8 configfs_symlink+0x1f4/0x5a0 vfs_symlink+0x134/0x1d8 do_symlinkat+0x88/0x138 __arm64_sys_symlinkat+0x74/0xe0 [...] Remove the helper, and drop pci_epc_put(). EPC device refcounting is tied to the configfs EPC group lifetime, and pci_epc_put() in the .drop_link path is sufficient.
