Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI: Hold rescan lock while adding devices during host probe

Since adding the PCI power control code, we may end up with a race between
the pwrctl platform device rescanning the bus and host controller probe
functions. The latter need to take the rescan lock when adding devices or
we may end up in an undefined state having two incompletely added devices
and hit the following crash when trying to remove the device over sysfs:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
