In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Hold rescan lock while adding devices during host probe
Since adding the PCI power control code, we may end up with a race between
the pwrctl platform device rescanning the bus and host controller probe
functions. The latter need to take the rescan lock when adding devices or
we may end up in an undefined state having two incompletely added devices
and hit the following crash when trying to remove the device over sysfs:
  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
