Summary

In the Linux kernel, the drm/i915/mst driver had an unbounded loop in intel_dp_check_mst_status() servicing interrupts from the sink, potentially getting stuck on stuck sink devices. An upper bound of 32 tries was added.

Risk Assessment

An unbounded loop can lead to system hang or malfunction, potentially affecting service availability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that limits the interrupt handling loop.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/mst: limit DP MST ESI service loop The loop in intel_dp_check_mst_status() keeps servicing interrupts originating from the sink without bound. Add an upper bound to the new interrupts occurring during interrupt processing to not get stuck on potentially stuck sink devices. Use arbitrary 32 tries to clear incoming interrupts in one go. Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product Security. Note: The condition likely pre-dates the commit in the Fixes: tag, but this is about as far back as a backport has any chance of succeeding. Before that, the retry had a goto.
