"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbus: mhi: ep: Update read pointer only after buffer is written\n\nInside mhi_ep_ring_add_element, the read pointer (rd_offset) is updated\nbefore the buffer is written, potentially causing race conditions where\nthe host sees an updated read pointer before the buffer is actually\nwritten. Updating rd_offset prematurely can lead to the host accessing\nan uninitialized or incomplete element, resulting in data corruption.\n\nInvoke the buffer write before updating rd_offset to ensure the element\nis fully written before signaling its availability."

"value": "AV:N - MHI EP is the WWAN/modem datapath; event-ring insertions are generated per transfer completion for data crossing the link, including downlink packets originating from remote network peers, so a remote party driving traffic exercises the racy path with no local access to either side.\nAC:L - The window between the MMIO rp publish and the eDMA element write is microseconds wide and the host polls rp continuously, so the race hits under ordinary traffic — the upstream host-side fix describes it as \"the usual pattern\" observed in practice, not a rare interleaving.\nPR:N - No capability check, authentication step, or privilege gate exists anywhere along the path from traffic arrival to mhi_ep_ring_add_element(); event generation is driven purely by host doorbells and channel data movement.\nUI:N - The stale-element exposure occurs during normal automatic MHI event-ring operation; no victim action such as mounting, opening a device, or loading a module is required.\nS:C - The defect is in the endpoint's kernel MHI stack, but the resulting double free and DMA-unmap corruption occur in the host kernel on the other side of the PCIe link — a distinct processor and security authority, analogous to a device/DMA boundary crossing.\nC:H - The host consumes an uninitialized or stale ring element and dereferences attacker-influenced TRE pointers, and the resulting use-after-free over already-completed buffers gives control of freed object contents suitable for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - Upstream explicitly documents that this ordering bug causes the host to double-free transfer buffers and re-unmap DMA mappings, which is heap corruption exploitable for arbitrary write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Double free, DMA unmap of already-unmapped buffers, and pending_pkts refcount underflow reliably oops or panic the host kernel and desynchronize the ring, tearing down the MHI link."
