Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
A regression was introduced in the Linux kernel affecting PCI aliased devices behind PCIe-to-PCI bridges, causing issues with keyboard and touchpad functionality on certain Apple Macbooks. The problem arose from a change in the context entry setup during domain attachment, switching from a set-and-check policy to a clear-and-reset approach. This led to errors in device communication, including fault status registrations and failed write operations to devices.
Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
