This flaw can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) due to a missing device lock during PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) error recovery. When error recovery status is reported without proper locking, concurrent device operations can access driver data in an inconsistent state, potentially causing the operating system to crash.\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Moderate · affected: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 · no fix planned: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 · updated 2026-10-20 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-98474.json)\n\n**kernel: s390/pci: Fix missing device lock in zpci_report_status()** — rated Moderate by Red Hat.
