DescriptionCVE.org

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

LoongArch: Fix potential ADE in loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang()

The switch case in loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang() may not DC2 or DC3, and readl(crtc_reg) will access with random address, because the "device" is from "base+PCI_DEVICE_ID", "base" is from "pdev->devfn+1". This is wrong when my platform inserts a discrete GPU:

lspci -tv -[0000:00]-+-00.0 Loongson Technology LLC Hyper Transport Bridge Controller ... +-06.0 Loongson Technology LLC LG100 GPU +-06.2 Loongson Technology LLC Device 7a37 ...

Add a default switch case to fix the panic as below:

AnalysisAI

Kernel panic (ADE - Address Error for Memory access) in the LoongArch-specific PCI fixup function loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang() crashes systems that boot with a discrete Loongson GPU whose PCI device ID does not match any handled case in the switch statement. The missing default case causes readl() to be called with a garbage MMIO address derived from uninitialized register state, resulting in a hard kernel panic at boot time (PID 1, swapper/0) and rendering the system unavailable. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is 0.02% (5th percentile), consistent with a hardware-specific local DoS requiring no attacker interaction.

Technical ContextAI

The affected code resides in the LoongArch architecture-specific PCI quirk subsystem of the Linux kernel (cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel). The function loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang() is registered as a PCI fixup that fires during pci_setup_device() when the PCI bus is enumerated via ACPI. It computes a 'base' address from pdev->devfn+1 and derives a 'device' identifier from base+PCI_DEVICE_ID. A switch statement then dispatches on the device value to set crtc_reg for a subsequent readl() MMIO read. However, when a discrete GPU such as the Loongson LG100 (bus 06.0) is present, its device ID matches no case (DC2 or DC3), so crtc_reg is never initialized and readl() is called with whatever value happened to be in the register - in the captured trace, 0x7fffffffffffff00 (the value from s1), producing ESTAT: [ADEM] (address error for memory access). The CWE-667 (Improper Locking) classification assigned by NVD does not accurately reflect the root cause, which is a missing default branch in a switch statement causing use of an uninitialized pointer - closer in nature to CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) or CWE-476. The 'Information Disclosure' tag in the source intelligence is also inconsistent with the CVSS impact scores (C:N/I:N/A:H), which correctly describe a pure availability impact.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to a fixed Linux kernel version: 6.6.140, 6.12.88, 6.18.30, 7.0.7, or 7.1-rc3 per vendor-released patch availability confirmed by EUVD. The fix adds a default branch to the switch statement in loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang() so that unrecognized PCI device IDs result in a safe no-op rather than an uninitialized MMIO read. Fix commits are published at https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/07d190e4ec689d6478f7f5e36099fb9bf457e7c5 and related stable-tree commits. For LoongArch system operators who cannot patch immediately, a specific compensating control is to blacklist the loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang PCI fixup by passing 'pci=nofixups' on the kernel command line - note this disables all PCI quirks and may cause other hardware-specific DMA hang workarounds to be skipped, so it should be treated as a temporary measure only. Alternatively, removing or not inserting the discrete GPU (specifically any Loongson GPU whose PCI device ID is not the DC2 or DC3 controller) eliminates the trigger entirely until a patched kernel is deployed.
