CWE-ID: CWE-664 - Improper control of a resource through its lifetime
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper register field definition in the IPA GSI event ring configuration logic when initializing event rings on IPA v5.0+ hardware. A local user can trigger channel operations that wait for transfer completion to cause a denial of service.
The issue can cause runtime suspend, system suspend, and remoteproc stop operations to hang indefinitely, and the IPA data path may become non-functional.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
