Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: alcor_pci: fix null-ptr-deref when there is no PCI bridge There is an issue with the ASPM(optional) capability checking function.
A device might be attached to root complex directly, in this case,
bus->self(bridge) will be NULL, thus priv->parent_pdev is NULL.
Since alcor_pci_init_check_aspm(priv->parent_pdev) checks the PCI link's
ASPM capability and populate parent_cap_off, which will be used later by
alcor_pci_aspm_ctrl() to dynamically turn on/off device, what we can do
here is to avoid checking the capability if we are on the root complex.
This will make pdev_cap_off 0 and alcor_pci_aspm_ctrl() will simply
return when bring called, effectively disable ASPM for the device. [ 1.246492] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000c0
[ 1.248731] RIP: 0010:pci_read_config_byte+0x5/0x40

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: misc: alcor_pci: corrige null-ptr-deref cuando no hay un puente PCI. Hay un problema con la función de verificación de capacidad ASPM (opcional). Un dispositivo se puede conectar directamente al complejo root; en este caso, bus->self(bridge) será NULL, por lo tanto, priv->parent_pdev es NULL. Dado que alcor_pci_init_check_aspm(priv->parent_pdev) verifica la capacidad ASPM del enlace PCI y completa parent_cap_off, que será utilizado más adelante por alcor_pci_aspm_ctrl() para encender/apagar dinámicamente el dispositivo, lo que podemos hacer aquí es evitar verificar la capacidad si estamos encendidos. el complejo raíz. Esto hará que pdev_cap_off sea 0 y alcor_pci_aspm_ctrl() simplemente regrese cuando se llame a Bring, deshabilitando efectivamente ASPM para el dispositivo.
