Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-89453

medium Nessus Plugin ID 345348

Language:

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.

 - iommu/amd: Put PCI device after handling PPR faults iommu_call_iopf_notifier() looks up the requester with pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot(), which returns a PCI device with its reference count incremented. Neither the successful iommu_report_device_fault() path nor the abort path drops that reference, so every handled PPR request leaks a PCI device reference. This is the same ownership rule that was fixed for the old iommu_v2 ppr_notifier() path by commit 6cf0981c2233 (iommu/amd: Fix pci device refcount leak in ppr_notifier()), but iommu_call_iopf_notifier() was added later as a separate PPR/IOPF notifier path.
 Drop the PCI device reference after handling the PPR entry. (CVE-2026-89453)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
