Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ata: pata_sl82c105: fix bridge revision use-after-free

pci_get_slot() returns a referenced PCI device. Commit 44c10138fd4b
("PCI: Change all drivers to use pci_device->revision") replaced a
configuration-space read with direct access to the cached revision field,
but left that access after pci_dev_put(). The bridge may therefore be freed
before its revision is read.

Read the revision before dropping the reference.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a use‑after‑free flaw in the Linux kernel’s ATA driver for the SL82C105 bridge device. After pci_dev_put() released the PCI device, the driver attempted to read the cached PCI revision field, corrupting kernel memory. Exploitation could enable an attacker to alter kernel data or trigger a denial of service by causing a kernel panic.

Affected Systems

Any Linux system that incorporates the ATA SL82C105 driver and includes the buggy code path is affected. The vulnerability existed until the fix was merged in commit 44c10138fd4b; the specific kernel versions are not enumerated in the advisory, so all kernels containing the unpatched path are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

No public exploit has been reported, and the issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV. The EPSS score is unavailable, so the likelihood remains uncertain. The patch in commit 44c10138fd4b fully eliminates this risk once applied.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Linux kernel update that includes commit 44c10138fd4b
  • For custom kernel builds, incorporate the fixed source and rebuild affected modules
  • Restart all affected systems to ensure the patched kernel and driver load
