Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/eeh: avoid possible crash when edev->pdev changes If a PCI device is removed during eeh_pe_report_edev(), edev->pdev will change and can cause a crash, hold the PCI rescan/remove lock while taking a copy of edev->pdev->bus.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to kernel version 6.1.101 or later (or the equivalent fixed version from your current branch: 5.4.281+, 5.10.223+, or 5.15.164+)

  1. Identify the currently running Linux kernel version using `uname -r`
  2. Determine which version range your current kernel falls into from the affected ranges: < 5.4.281, >= 5.5 and < 5.10.223, >= 5.11 and < 5.15.164, or >= 5.16 and < 6.1.101
  3. Upgrade the Linux kernel to a fixed version: 5.4.281 or later, 5.10.223 or later, 5.15.164 or later, or 6.1.101 or later
  4. Reboot the system to load the patched kernel
  5. Verify the fix is applied by checking the kernel version with `uname -r` and confirming it matches or exceeds the appropriate fixed version
Caveat Kernel upgrades may require recompiling out-of-tree modules; ensure compatible drivers are available for the new kernel version
