Lifecycle Timeline

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: ISST: Restore SST-PP control to all domains
The SST-PP control offset is only restored to power domain 0 after resume. During suspend, control values are read and stored for all power domains.
Use pd_info->sst_base instead of power_domain_info->sst_base, which only points to power domain 0 base address.
AnalysisAI
Incorrect pointer usage in the Intel Speed Select Technology (ISST) platform driver causes SST-PP control registers to be restored only for power domain 0 during system resume from suspend, leaving all non-zero power domains with corrupted performance profile settings. Systems running affected Linux kernel versions (6.18.16-6.18.39, 6.19.x, 7.0) on Intel Xeon hardware with multi-domain ISST configurations will silently misconfigure CPU performance profiles after any suspend/resume cycle, leading to integrity and availability impact. EPSS is at 0.21% (11th percentile) and no active exploitation has been identified; a vendor patch is available across multiple stable branches.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the platform/x86: ISST (Intel Speed Select Technology) driver subsystem in the Linux kernel. Intel SST is a feature present on server-class Intel Xeon processors (e.g., Ice Lake-SP, Sapphire Rapids) that allows selection of CPU performance profiles (SST-PP) per power domain - distinct voltage and frequency regions within a multi-die package. During the PM suspend path, the driver correctly iterates all power domains using pd_info->sst_base to save their SST-PP control register values. However, the resume restore path erroneously uses power_domain_info->sst_base, which is a fixed pointer to power domain 0's MMIO base address. As a result, the restore loop writes domain 0's values into what it believes are the other domains' registers, but actually writes back to domain 0's address space, leaving domains 1 through N-1 in whatever transient hardware state exists post-resume. No CWE was formally assigned, but the root cause is a classic wrong-variable logic error in symmetric save/restore code - the save path uses the per-domain iterator while the restore path references a static global. The fix replaces power_domain_info->sst_base with pd_info->sst_base in the restore loop.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to a patched Linux kernel version: 6.18.40, 7.1.5, or 7.2-rc1, all of which include the corrective commits (2565a28cdcdcb035e151d285efcba26bccb3726e, 2a42f651cce91e9cbe65fe933622c522cbb1868b, cea03d67db3a880893360bdbb1b0b8d9b33b1799) available at https://git.kernel.org/stable/. If an immediate kernel upgrade is not feasible on affected Intel Xeon ISST servers, two compensating controls exist. First, disable system suspend and hibernate states via systemd to prevent the resume path from executing: systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target - trade-off is loss of power-saving sleep states, which is usually acceptable in datacenter environments. Second, unloading the isst_if_mbox_pci kernel module (modprobe -r isst_if_mbox_pci) removes the vulnerable driver entirely - trade-off is complete loss of ISST/SST-PP management functionality, potentially affecting workloads that rely on Intel performance profile switching. Neither workaround substitutes for patching.
