CVE-2026-43130

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/vt-d: Flush dev-IOTLB only when PCIe device is accessible in scalable mode

Commit 4fc82cd907ac ("iommu/vt-d: Don't issue ATS Invalidation

request when device is disconnected") relies on

pci_dev_is_disconnected() to skip ATS invalidation for

safely-removed devices, but it does not cover link-down caused

by faults, which can still hard-lock the system.

For example, if a VM fails to connect to the PCIe device,

"virsh destroy" is executed to release resources and isolate

the fault, but a hard-lockup occurs while releasing the group fd.

Call Trace:

qi_submit_sync

qi_flush_dev_iotlb

intel_pasid_tear_down_entry

device_block_translation

blocking_domain_attach_dev

__iommu_attach_device

__iommu_device_set_domain

__iommu_group_set_domain_internal

iommu_detach_group

vfio_iommu_type1_detach_group

vfio_group_detach_container

vfio_group_fops_release

__fput

Although pci_device_is_present() is slower than

pci_de

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
