CVE-2026-90421 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf package and not the libperf package as distributed by RHEL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Fix UAF when probe runs concurrent to dyn ID removal
Dynamic IDs are only guaranteed to be valid when dynids.lock is held, as remove_id_store() can free the node. Thus, make a copy in pci_match_device(). Also, clarify that the id parameter is only valid during probe.
