Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/pseries/iommu: LPAR panics during boot up with a frozen PE

At the time of LPAR boot up, partition firmware provides Open Firmware
property ibm,dma-window for the PE. This property is provided on the PCI
bus the PE is attached to.

There are execptions where the partition firmware might not provide this
property for the PE at the time of LPAR boot up. One of the scenario is
where the firmware has frozen the PE due to some error condition. This
PE is frozen for 24 hours or unless the whole system is reinitialized.

Within this time frame, if the LPAR is booted, the frozen PE will be
presented to the LPAR but ibm,dma-window property could be missing.

Today, under these circumstances, the LPAR oopses with NULL pointer
dereference, when configuring the PCI bus the PE is attached to.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: powerpc/pseries/iommu: LPAR entra en pánico durante el arranque con un PE congelado En el momento del arranque de LPAR, el firmware de la partición proporciona la propiedad Open Firmware ibm,dma-window para el PE. Esta propiedad se proporciona en el bus PCI al que está conectado el PE. Hay excepciones en las que es posible que el firmware de la partición no proporcione esta propiedad para el PE en el momento del arranque de LPAR. Uno de los escenarios es donde el firmware ha congelado el PE debido a alguna condición de error. Este PE se congela durante 24 horas o a menos que se reinicialice todo el sistema. Dentro de este período de tiempo, si se inicia la LPAR, el PE congelado se presentará a la LPAR, pero es posible que falte la propiedad ibm,dma-window. Hoy en día, bajo estas circunstancias, la LPAR falla con la desreferencia del puntero NULL al configurar el bus PCI al que está conectado el PE.
