Technical 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

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-43097?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-43097 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
