AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions to resolve the IRQ domain leak. Users should update their Linux kernel to a version including this fix. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official patch.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's PCI mediatek-gen3 driver was fixed to prevent leaking IRQ domains when the IRQ is not found. The issue occurred because IRQ domains were allocated before confirming the controller's IRQ, leading to resource leaks if the IRQ fetch failed. The fix reverses the allocation order to avoid this leak. This vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions and has a low severity rating.
