Overview

CVE-2026-89455 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 11, 2026.

Technical description

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

PCI: plda: Fix use-after-free of event IRQs during teardown

plda_pcie_irq_domain_deinit() removes pcie->event_domain via

irq_domain_remove(), but the per-event IRQs mapped from that domain

are requested with devm_request_irq() in plda_init_interrupts(). The

actual free_irq() for a devm-managed IRQ is deferred by devres until

after the calling probe()/remove() function returns.

This means irq_domain_remove() can free the domain's internal data

before the deferred free_irq() for IRQs still mapped into it has run.

When devres later processes that deferred cleanup, it can end up

dereferencing the already-freed domain.

Free each event IRQ explicitly with devm_free_irq() before removing

the domain. This triggers the free immediately and removes the IRQ

from the devres tracking list, so devres will not attempt to free it

a second time later.

Also dispose of the event, INTx, and MSI IRQ mappings with

irq_dispose_mapping()

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89455?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89455 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
