CVE-2026-72329NVD
Vulnerability Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/liquidio: drop cached VF pci_dev LUT
The PF SR-IOV enable path caches VF pci_dev pointers in
dpiring_to_vfpcidev_lut[] by iterating with pci_get_device(). Those
entries do not own a reference, because the iterator drops the previous
device reference on each step. The cached pointer is then dereferenced
later when handling OCTEON_VF_FLR_REQUEST.
Replace the cached VF mapping with runtime lookup on the mailbox DPI
ring: derive the VF index from q_no, resolve the VF via exported PCI
IOV helpers, validate it with the PF pointer and VF ID, then issue
pcie_flr() and drop the reference with pci_dev_put(). Remove the
unused VF lookup table initialization and cleanup.
