Summary

In the Linux kernel, the PCI mediatek driver did not hold the pci_rescan_remove_lock while stopping and removing a root bus. This missing lock allowed a race with concurrent rescan or hotplug operations triggered via sysfs.

Risk Assessment

Exploiting the race may lead to use-after-free issues or system crashes, posing a denial-of-service (DoS) risk on devices with this PCI controller.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that holds pci_rescan_remove_lock while removing a root bus.
