AI-suggested
A patch is available and fixed versions include multiple 5.15 kernel releases such as 5.15.0-1065.71~20.04.1 and later. Users should apply these official kernel updates from their distribution to remediate the issue.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's pci_iounmap() function causes a memory-mapped I/O (MMIO) mapping leak due to incorrect conditional compilation guards. This issue has been fixed by adjusting the guard to ensure iounmap() is called properly for MMIO mappings.
