AI-suggested

A fix is available and has been released in updated Linux kernel versions. Users should apply the official Linux kernel security updates provided by their distribution vendors, such as the Ubuntu security notice USN-7594-1. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official patches.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's perf/dwc_pcie subsystem involved improper handling of pci_dev devices during platform_device_register, causing duplicate pci_dev structures and potential list corruption due to shared mutex content. This flaw could lead to kernel memory corruption and impact system availability. The issue has been fixed in updated Linux kernel releases. Multiple Linux kernel subsystems were addressed in the related security update.
