{"cve":"CVE-2026-43211","nvd":{"published":"2026-05-06T12:16:40.527","modified":"2026-10-19T20:18:11.067","status":"Modified","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nPCI: Fix pci_slot_trylock() error handling\n\nCommit a4e772898f8b (\"PCI: Add missing bridge lock to pci_bus_lock()\")\ndelegates the bridge device's pci_dev_trylock() to pci_bus_trylock() in\npci_slot_trylock(), but it forgets to remove the corresponding\npci_dev_unlock() when pci_bus_trylock() fails.\n\nBefore a4e772898f8b, the code did:\n\n  if (!pci_dev_trylock(dev)) /* <- lock bridge device */\n    goto unlock;\n  if (dev->subordinate) {\n    if (!pci_bus_trylock(dev->subordinate)) {\n      pci_dev_unlock(dev);   /* <- unlock bridge device */\n      goto unlock;\n    }\n  }\n\nAfter a4e772898f8b the bridge-device lock is no longer taken, but the\npci_dev_unlock(dev) on the failure path was left in place, leading to the\nbug.\n\nThis yields one of two errors:\n\n  1. A warning that the lock is being unlocked when no one holds it.\n  2. An incorrect unlock of a lock that belongs to another thread.\n\nFix it by removing the now-redundant pci_dev_unlock(dev) on the failure\npath.\n\n[Same patch later posted by Keith at\nhttps://patch.msgid.link/20260116184150.3013258-1-kbusch@meta.com]","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-667"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0425aaf20b407d2f2cf3bf469808e4a35f9abb8b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8b08ea9690b212b7bf7f12414039259cf34b1aa0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9368d1ee62829b08aa31836b3ca003803caf0b72","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/943ed56606a7ab2fe5a99cad572dd17d484310c7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a19b61fdb958ffadbba85b43c991eb9fc70c1c1c"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-43211","score":0.00107,"percentile":0.01167,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
