Description

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

PCI: hv: Fix double ida_free in hv_pci_probe error path

If hv_pci_probe() fails after storing the domain number in
hbus->bridge->domain_nr, there is a call to free this domain_nr via
pci_bus_release_emul_domain_nr(), however, during cleanup, the bridge
release callback pci_release_host_bridge_dev() also frees the domain_nr
causing ida_free to be called on same ID twice and triggering following
warning:

ida_free called for id=28971 which is not allocated.
WARNING: lib/idr.c:594 at ida_free+0xdf/0x160, CPU#0: kworker/0:2/198
Call Trace:
pci_bus_release_emul_domain_nr+0x17/0x20
pci_release_host_bridge_dev+0x4b/0x60
device_release+0x3b/0xa0
kobject_put+0x8e/0x220
devm_pci_alloc_host_bridge_release+0xe/0x20

device_unbind_cleanup+0x12/0xa0
really_probe+0x1c5/0x3f0
vmbus_add_channel_work+0x135/0x1a0

Fix this by letting pci core handle the free domain_nr and remove
the explicit free called in pci-hyperv driver.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
