CVE-2026-23287

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: irqchip/sifive-plic: Fix frozen interrupt due to affinity setting PLIC ignores interrupt completion message for disabled interrupt, explained
by the specification: The PLIC signals it has completed executing an interrupt handler by writing the interrupt ID it received from the claim to the claim/complete register. The PLIC does not check whether the completion ID is the same as the last claim ID for that target. If the completion ID does not match an interrupt source that is currently enabled for the target, the completion is silently ignored. This caused problems in the past, because an interrupt can be disabled
while still being handled and plic_irq_eoi() had no effect. That was fixed
by checking if the interrupt is disabled, and if so enable it, before
sending the completion message. That check is done with irqd_irq_disabled(). However, that is not sufficient because the enable bit for the handling
hart can be zero despite irqd_irq_disabled(d) being false. This can happen
when affinity setting is changed while a hart is still handling the
interrupt. This problem is easily reproducible by dumping a large file to uart (which
generates lots of interrupts) and at the same time keep changing the uart
interrupt's affinity setting. The uart port becomes frozen almost
instantaneously. Fix this by checking PLIC's enable bit instead of irqd_irq_disabled().
