CVE-2025-71233
PCI: endpoint: Avoid creating sub-groups asynchronously
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: Avoid creating sub-groups asynchronously
The asynchronous creation of sub-groups by a delayed work could lead to a
NULL pointer dereference when the driver directory is removed before the
work completes.
The crash can be easily reproduced with the following commands:
# cd /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/functions/pci_epf_test
# for i in {1..20}; do mkdir test && rmdir test; done
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000088
...
Call Trace:
configfs_register_group+0x3d/0x190
pci_epf_cfs_work+0x41/0x110
process_one_work+0x18f/0x350
worker_thread+0x25a/0x3a0
Fix this issue by using configfs_add_default_group() API which does not
have the deadlock problem as configfs_register_group() and does not require
the delayed work handler.
[mani: slightly reworded the description and added stable list]
