In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: brcmstb: Fix error path after a call to regulator_bulk_get()
If the regulator_bulk_get() returns an error and no regulators
are created, we need to set their number to zero.
If we don't do this and the PCIe link up fails, a call to the
regulator_bulk_free() will result in a kernel panic.
While at it, print the error value, as we cannot return an error
upwards as the kernel will WARN() on an error from add_bus().

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Broadcom STB PCIe host controller driver. An improper error-handling routine fails to reset the regulator count if regulator initialization fails. If a subsequent PCIe link-up failure occurs, the driver attempts to free unallocated resources, triggering a kernel panic. A local user could exploit this flaw under specific failure conditions to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Low severity because it requires specific Broadcom Set-Top Box SoC hardware and relies on an uncommon sequence of hardware initialization failures to trigger a denial of service. The affected PCIe host controller driver is not used on standard enterprise server architectures and is constrained to specialized embedded platforms. Furthermore, triggering the condition requires local privileges and cannot be achieved remotely.
