CVE-2026-53051 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: tegra194: Fix CBB timeout caused by DBI access before core power-on When PERST# is deasserted twice (assert -> deassert -> assert -> deassert), a CBB (Control Backbone) timeout occurs at DBI register offset 0x8bc (PCIE_MISC_CONTROL_1_OFF). This happens because pci_epc_deinit_notify() and dw_pcie_ep_cleanup() are called before reset_control_deassert() powers on the controller core. The call chain that causes the timeout: pex_ep_event_pex_rst_deassert() pci_epc_deinit_notify() pci_epf_test_epc_deinit() pci_epf_test_clear_bar() pci_epc_clear_bar() dw_pcie_ep_clear_bar() __dw_pcie_ep_reset_bar() dw_pcie_dbi_ro_wr_en() <- Accesses 0x8bc DBI register reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst) <- Core powered on HERE The DBI registers, including PCIE_MISC_CONTROL_1_OFF (0x8bc), are only accessible after the controller core is powered on via reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst). Accessing them before this point results in a CBB timeout because the hardware is not yet operational. Fix this by moving pci_epc_deinit_notify() and dw_pcie_ep_cleanup() to after reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst), ensuring the controller is fully powered on before any DBI register accesses occur.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's PCI Tegra194 controller can lead to a Control Backbone (CBB) timeout. This issue arises when the PERST# signal is deasserted twice in quick succession, causing a timeout at the DBI register offset 0x8bc (PCIE_MISC_CONTROL_1_OFF). The problem occurs because the cleanup functions pci_epc_deinit_notify() and dw_pcie_ep_cleanup() are called before the controller core is powered on, leading to the timeout as the hardware is not yet operational. The vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
The vulnerability has been addressed by modifying the order of operations. The cleanup functions are now called after the controller core is powered on, ensuring that the hardware is operational before accessing the DBI registers. Users should upgrade to the patched version of the Linux kernel available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
