CVE-2025-23161
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: vmd: Make vmd_dev::cfg_lock a raw_spinlock_t type The access to the PCI config space via pci_ops::read and pci_ops::write is a low-level hardware access. The functions can be accessed with disabled interrupts even on PREEMPT_RT. The pci_lock is a raw_spinlock_t for this purpose. A spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT, so it cannot be acquired with disabled interrupts. The vmd_dev::cfg_lock is accessed in the same context as the pci_lock. Make vmd_dev::cfg_lock a raw_spinlock_t type so it can be used with interrupts disabled. This was reported as: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48 Call Trace: rt_spin_lock+0x4e/0x130 vmd_pci_read+0x8d/0x100 [vmd] pci_user_read_config_byte+0x6f/0xe0 pci_read_config+0xfe/0x290 sysfs_kf_bin_read+0x68/0x90 [bigeasy: reword commit message] Tested-off-by: Luis Claudio R.

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: PCI: vmd: Convertir vmd_dev::cfg_lock en tipo raw_spinlock_t El acceso al espacio de configuración PCI mediante pci_ops::read y pci_ops::write es un acceso de hardware de bajo nivel. Se puede acceder a las funciones con interrupciones deshabilitadas incluso en PREEMPT_RT. El pci_lock es un raw_spinlock_t para este propósito. Un spinlock_t se convierte en un bloqueo inactivo en PREEMPT_RT, por lo que no se puede adquirir con interrupciones deshabilitadas. Se accede a vmd_dev::cfg_lock en el mismo contexto que el pci_lock. Convertir vmd_dev::cfg_lock en un tipo raw_spinlock_t para que pueda usarse con interrupciones deshabilitadas.
