Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `pci-epf-vntb` module. This vulnerability occurs due to improper handling of the `cmd_handler` work during the `epf_ntb_epc_cleanup` process. If the delayed work is not disabled before clearing BAR mappings and doorbells, the handler can attempt to access resources that have already been torn down. This can lead to a kernel paging request error and an internal system error, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
