AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the affected Linux kernel versions to flush cached MSI writes before unmapping the iATU. Users should update to the patched versions listed to remediate this issue. Since this is a kernel-level fix, applying the updated kernel packages from the vendor is the recommended mitigation.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's PCI driver for the dwc endpoint (ep) was resolved by ensuring that cached MSI writes are flushed before unmapping the iATU. The issue involved a race condition where posted MSI writes could be dropped or misrouted due to unmapping the iATU entry before the write completed. This was fixed by adding a readback operation to drain posted MSI writes before unmapping. The vulnerability affects specific versions of the linux-hwe-edge kernel and has a CVSS score of 8.2.
