Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux Kernel versions prior to 5.17.14

Description The issue is related to a potential deadlock in the Linux Kernel, specifically with the pci dev lock() function in conjunction with sriov numvfs store(). The actual impact and attack plausibility have not yet been proven.

Recommendations For Linux Kernel versions prior to 5.17.14, update to version 5.17.14 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of sriov numvfs store() in conjunction with pci dev lock() to minimize the risk of deadlock.
