CVE-2026-89455 — PCI: plda: Fix use-after-free of event IRQs during teardown
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() before their owning domains are removed. Finally, guard the calls to irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() for pcie->irq, pcie->msi_irq, and pcie->intx_irq so they only run when those fields hold a valid (>0) IRQ number. This is a pre-existing issue, flagged by automated review during work on an earlier, unrelated patch to this driver. Build-tested and boot-tested on StarFive VisionFive v1.2A board
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+2
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-89455 is "PCI: plda: Fix use-after-free of event IRQs during teardown", rated Unknown. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. EPSS 0.21% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
