| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 5.18.0-rc4
Description
The issue arises when the USB sleep clocks are disabled, and the clock framework attempts to disable the sleep clock source as well. However, this source cannot be disabled, resulting in a warning message indicating that the
gcc sleep clk src status is stuck at 'on'. This problem occurs due to the kernel's attempt to disable the sleep clock source, which is not allowed. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not provided. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.Recommendations
To resolve the issue, add the
CLK IS CRITICAL flag to the clock so that the kernel won't try to disable the sleep clock.
For Linux kernel version 5.18.0-rc4, update the kernel to include the fix that adds the CLK IS CRITICAL flag to the gcc sleep clk src clock.Exploit
