"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-42302 advisory.
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI/DPC: Fix use-after-free on
concurrent DPC and hot-removal Keith reports a use-after-free when a DPC event occurs concurrently to hot-
removal of the same portion of the hierarchy: The dpc_handler() awaits readiness of the secondary bus
below the Downstream Port where the DPC event occurred. To do so, it polls the config space of the first
child device on the secondary bus. If that child device is concurrently removed, accesses to its struct
pci_dev cause the kernel to oops. That's because pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus() neglects to hold a
reference on the child device. Before v6.3, the function was only called on resume from system sleep or on
runtime resume. Holding a reference wasn't necessary back then because the pciehp IRQ thread could never
run concurrently. (On resume from system sleep, IRQs are not enabled until after the resume_noirq phase.
And runtime resume is always awaited before a PCI device is removed.) However starting with v6.3,
pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus() is also called on a DPC event. Commit 53b54ad074de (PCI/DPC: Await
readiness of secondary bus after reset), which introduced that, failed to appreciate that
pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus() now needs to hold a reference on the child device because
dpc_handler() and pciehp May indeed run concurrently. The commit was backported to v5.10+ stable kernels,
so that's the oldest one affected. Add the missing reference acquisition. Abridged stack trace: BUG:
unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000091400c0 CPU: 15 PID: 2464 Comm: irq/53-pcie-dpc 6.9.0
