Summary

In the Linux kernel, a change to the device tree for SDM845/850 that enforced cache coherency in apps_smmu has been reverted. On some devices (e.g., Lenovo Yoga C630) it caused lock-ups and resets.

Risk Assessment

Users of SDM845/850 devices may experience system instability, including lock-ups and unexpected reboots.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that reverts commit 6b31a9744b8726c69bb0af290f8475a368a4b805 to restore previous behavior.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "arm64: dts: qcom: sdm845: Affirm IDR0.CCTW on apps_smmu" There are reports that the pagetable walker cache coherency is not a given across the spectrum of SDM845/850 devices, leading to lock-ups and resets. It works fine on some devices (like the Dragonboard 845c, but not so much on the Lenovo Yoga C630). This unfortunately looks like a fluke in firmware development, where likely somewhere in the vast hypervisor stack, a change to accommodate for this was only introduced after the initial software release (which often serves as a baseline for products). Revert the change to avoid additional guesswork around crashes. This reverts commit 6b31a9744b8726c69bb0af290f8475a368a4b805.
