CVE-2026-63862

What is known

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: mediatek-gen3: Prevent leaking IRQ domains when IRQ not found In mtk_pcie_setup_irq(), the IRQ domains are allocated before the controller's IRQ is fetched. If the latter fails, the function directly returns an error, without cleaning up the allocated domains. Hence, reverse the order so that the IRQ domains are allocated after the controller's IRQ is found. This was flagged by Sashiko during a review of "[PATCH v6 0/7] PCI: mediatek-gen3: add power control support".

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-63862, a reported vulnerability affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
