CVE-2026-43097
Published: May 6, 2026· Updated: May 6, 2026
Official 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.
WARNING: lib/idr.c:594 at ida_free+0xdf/0x160, CPU#0: kworker/0:2/198
Call Trace:
pci_bus_release_emul_domain_nr+0x17/0x20
pci_release_host_bridge_dev+0x4b/0x60

Fix this by letting pci core handle the free domain_nr and remove
the explicit free called in pci-hyperv driver.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-43097 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
