CVE-2026-43097 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-43097: 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 devres_release_all+0x9a/0xd0 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.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-43097

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-43097 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-43097

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-43097.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-43097, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
