Summary

In the Linux kernel PCI driver for MediaTek Gen3, an IRQ domain leak was detected. IRQ domains are allocated before fetching the controller IRQ, and if the fetch fails, the function returns an error without freeing the already allocated domains.

Risk Assessment

Leaking IRQ domains can lead to exhaustion of system resources, potentially preventing other PCI devices from functioning or causing system instability.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that reverses the order of IRQ domain allocation and controller IRQ fetching.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: mediatek-gen3: Prevent leaking IRQ domains when IRQ not found In mtk_pcie_setup_irq(), the IRQ domains are allocated before the controller's IRQ is fetched. If the latter fails, the function directly returns an error, without cleaning up the allocated domains. Hence, reverse the order so that the IRQ domains are allocated after the controller's IRQ is found. This was flagged by Sashiko during a review of "[PATCH v6 0/7] PCI: mediatek-gen3: add power control support".
