CVE-2026-53324 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mana: Use pci_name() for debugfs directory naming Use pci_name(pdev) for the per-device debugfs directory instead of hardcoded "0" for PFs and pci_slot_name(pdev->slot) for VFs. The previous approach had two issues: 1. pci_slot_name() dereferences pdev->slot, which can be NULL for VFs in environments like generic VFIO passthrough or nested KVM, causing a NULL pointer dereference. 2. Multiple PFs would all use "0", and VFs across different PCI domains or buses could share the same slot name, leading to -EEXIST errors from debugfs_create_dir(). pci_name(pdev) returns the unique BDF address, is always valid, and is unique across the system.
A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's net: mana component, related to how debugfs directories are named for different PCI devices. The issue arises from using hardcoded values and can lead to NULL pointer dereferences or directory creation errors. This vulnerability affects various versions of the Linux kernel.
The vulnerability has been addressed by updating the directory naming process to use the pci_name() function, ensuring unique and valid names for each device. Users should apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to mitigate this issue.
