      <title>CVE-2025-40219 — PCI/IOV: Fix race between SR-IOV enable/disable and hotplug</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-40219</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIPLUS S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PCI/IOV: Fix race between SR-IOV enable/disable and hotplug&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Commit 05703271c3cd (&amp;#34;PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when
enabling/disabling SR-IOV&amp;#34;) tried to fix a race between the VF removal
inside sriov_del_vfs() and concurrent hot unplug by taking the PCI
rescan/remove lock in sriov_del_vfs(). Similarly the PCI rescan/remove lock
was also taken in sriov_add_vfs() to protect addition of VFs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This approach however causes deadlock on trying to remove PFs with SR-IOV
enabled because PFs disable SR-IOV during removal and this removal happens
under the PCI rescan/remove lock. So the original fix had to be reverted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of taking the PCI rescan/remove lock in sriov_add_vfs() and
sriov_del_vfs(), fix the race that occurs with SR-IOV enable and disable vs
hotplug higher up in the callchain by taking the lock in
sriov_numvfs_store() before calling into the driver&amp;#39;s sriov_configure()
callback.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
