Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-43147

critical Nessus Plugin ID 312768

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - Revert PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV This reverts commit 05703271c3cd (PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV), which causes a deadlock by recursively taking pci_rescan_remove_lock when sriov_del_vfs() is called as part of pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(). For example with the following sequence of commands: $ echo <NUM> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pf>/sriov_numvfs $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pf>/remove A trimmed trace of the deadlock on a mlx5 device is as below: zsh/5715 is trying to acquire lock: 000002597926ef50 (pci_rescan_remove_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: sriov_disable+0x34/0x140 but task is already holding lock:
