After reacquiring the locks it only checks\nthat the affinity is unchanged (target_vcpu == vgic_target_oracle(irq))\nbefore moving the interrupt, which assumes that an interrupt whose affinity\nis preserved is still queued on this vCPU's ap_list.\n\nThat assumption no longer holds if the interrupt is taken off the ap_list\nwhile the locks are dropped. vgic_flush_pending_lpis() removes the\ninterrupt from the list and sets irq->vcpu to NULL, but leaves\nenabled/pending/target_vcpu untouched. As the interrupt is still enabled\nand pending, vgic_target_oracle() returns the same target_vcpu, so the\naffinity check passes and list_del() is run a second time on an entry that\nhas already been removed.\n\nAlso check that the interrupt is still assigned to this vCPU\n(irq->vcpu == vcpu) before moving it.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.3},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0074b82cdfcb5fd13710a0ac308ade68ac6f6fbe","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0658b09cba7fe866c6cd70cd2dcdfdcabe80328f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3893e1fcf6f306b327a8358dcd1cbd077989a240","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/654be81c4c637af12709d47c7efc3302cd336513","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79fdd2aa774e44847cd9bb7edc811e73e3dc7bfe"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72289","score":0.00185,"percentile":0.08011,"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).
