UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89454: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

The listed packages are ubuntu/linux-riscv, ubuntu/linux-realtime, ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-azure-fde, ubuntu/linux-gke, and ubuntu/linux-aws-5.0.

Q: Under what conditions does the resource leak occur?

The leak occurs when a later initialization step in plda_init_interrupts() fails, specifically if platform_get_irq() or either irq_create_mapping() call fails. In the irq_create_mapping() failure case, the INTx IRQ mapping can remain initialized.

Q: What cleanup behavior does the resolution add?

The resolution invokes plda_pcie_irq_domain_deinit() on the error path. That deinitialization now disposes of both INTx and MSI IRQ mappings before removing their IRQ domains.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: plda: Fix IRQ domain leaks in the error paths of pldainitinterrupts() pldainitinterrupts() initializes IRQ domains and creates IRQ mapping but does not unwind them when later step fails. If platformgetirq() or either irqcreatemapping() fails in pldainitinterrupts(), the domains are never deinitialized. If irqcreatemapping() fails, port->intxirq stays initialized. Hence, remove the IRQ domains in the error path by calling pldapcieirqdomaindeinit(). Since pldapcieirqdomaindeinit() now disposes of the intxirq and msiirq mappings itself before removing their domains, the msiirq mapping failure path can go directly to errirqdomaindeinit instead of disposing of port->intxirq separately first. This issue was found by automated review of sashiko-bot [mani: commit log]

Compensating control
In plda_init_interrupts(), unwind IRQ resources on all error paths by calling plda_pcie_irq_domain_deinit(); this must cover failures of platform_get_irq() and either irq_create_mapping(). The deinitialization must dispose of the intx_irq and msi_irq mappings before removing their IRQ domains.
