Summary

In the imx-lpi2c I2C driver for i.MX platforms, the adapter is not marked as suspended during suspend/resume. In the window between suspend_noirq and actual suspend, and between resume and resume_noirq, I2C transfers may be initiated when hardware resources are unavailable, risking a system hang.

Risk Assessment

The system may hang during suspend/resume transitions, leading to data loss or service unavailability.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that marks the I2C adapter as suspended during noirq suspend and blocks new transfers until resume.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: imx-lpi2c: mark I2C adapter when hardware is powered down On some i.MX platforms, certain I2C client drivers keep a periodic workqueue which continues to trigger I2C transfers. During system suspend/resume, there exists a time window between: - suspend_noirq and the system entering suspend - the system starting to resume and resume_noirq In this window, the I2C controller resources such as clock and pinctrl may already be disabled or not yet restored. If a workqueue triggers an I2C transfer in this period, the driver attempts to access I2C registers while the hardware resources are unavailable, which may lead to system hang. Mark the I2C adapter as suspended during noirq suspend and block new transfers until resume, ensuring that I2C transfers are only issued when hardware resources are available.
