LIN1024-10939 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2025-38623

Created: Aug 24, 2025    Updated: Aug 26, 2025
Found In Version: 10.24.33.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 24
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:EOL][EOL]PCI: pnv_php: Fix surprise plug detection and recovery[EOL][EOL]The existing PowerNV hotplug code did not handle surprise plug events[EOL]correctly, leading to a complete failure of the hotplug system after device[EOL]removal and a required reboot to detect new devices.[EOL][EOL]This comes down to two issues:[EOL][EOL] 1) When a device is surprise removed, often the bridge upstream[EOL]    port will cause a PE freeze on the PHB.  If this freeze is not[EOL]    cleared, the MSI interrupts from the bridge hotplug notification[EOL]    logic will not be received by the kernel, stalling all plug events[EOL]    on all slots associated with the PE.[EOL][EOL] 2) When a device is removed from a slot, regardless of surprise or[EOL]    programmatic removal, the associated PHB/PE ls left frozen.[EOL]    If this freeze is not cleared via a fundamental reset, skiboot[EOL]    is unable to clear the freeze and cannot retrain / rescan the[EOL]    slot.  This also requires a reboot to clear the freeze and redetect[EOL]    the device in the slot.[EOL][EOL]Issue the appropriate unfreeze and rescan commands on hotplug events,[EOL]and don't oops on hotplug if pci_bus_to_OF_node() returns NULL.[EOL][EOL][bhelgaas: tidy comments]
