In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI/MSI: Fix UAF in msi_capability_init

KFENCE reports the following UAF:

 BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in __pci_enable_msi_range+0x2c0/0x488

Descriptor allocation done in:
__pci_enable_msi_range
    msi_capability_init
        msi_setup_msi_desc
            msi_insert_msi_desc
                msi_domain_insert_msi_desc
                    msi_alloc_desc
                        ...

Freed in case of failure in __msi_domain_alloc_locked()
__pci_enable_msi_range
    msi_capability_init
        pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs
            msi_domain_alloc_irqs_all_locked
                msi_domain_alloc_locked
                    __msi_domain_alloc_locked => fails
                    msi_domain_free_locked
                        ...

That failure propagates back to pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() in
msi_capability_init() which accesses the descriptor for unmasking in the
error exit path.

Cure it by copying the descriptor and using the copy for the error exit path
unmask operation.
