This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: hv: Fix double ida_free in hv_pci_probe error path
If hv_pci_probe() fails after storing the domain number in
hbus->bridge->domain_nr, there is a call to free this domain_nr via
pci_bus_release_emul_domain_nr(), however, during cleanup, the bridge
release callback pci_release_host_bridge_dev() also frees the domain_nr
causing ida_free to be called on same ID twice and triggering following
warning:
ida_free called for id=28971 which is not allocated.
