Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: plda: Fix use-after-free of event IRQs during teardown
plda_pcie_irq_domain_deinit() removes pcie->event_domain via
irq_domain_remove(), but the per-event IRQs mapped from that domain
are requested with devm_request_irq() in plda_init_interrupts(). The
actual free_irq() for a devm-managed IRQ is deferred by devres until
after the calling probe()/remove() function returns.
This means irq_domain_remove() can free the domain's internal data
before the deferred free_irq() for IRQs still mapped into it has run.
When devres later processes that deferred cleanup, it can end up
dereferencing the already-freed domain.
Free each event IRQ explicitly with devm_free_irq() before removing
the domain. This triggers the free immediately and removes the IRQ
from the devres tracking list, so devres will not attempt to free it
a second time later.
Also dispose of the event, INTx, and MSI IRQ mappings with
irq_dispose_mapping()

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89455?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89455 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.
