Technical description

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

PCI: Allow per function PCI slots to fix slot reset on s390

On s390 systems, which use a machine level hypervisor, PCI devices are

always accessed through a form of PCI pass-through which fundamentally

operates on a per PCI function granularity. This is also reflected in the

s390 PCI hotplug driver which creates hotplug slots for individual PCI

functions. Its reset_slot() function, which is a wrapper for

zpci_hot_reset_device(), thus also resets individual functions.

Currently, the pci_create_slot() assigns the same pci_slot object to

multifunction devices. This approach worked fine on s390 systems that only

exposed virtual functions as individual PCI domains to the operating

system. Since commit 44510d6fa0c0 ("s390/pci: Handling multifunctions")

s390 supports exposing the topology of multifunction PCI devices by

grouping them in a shared PCI domain. This creates a problem when resetting

a function through the hotp

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89795?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89795 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.
