"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ni2c: imx: fix locked bus on SMBus block-read of 0 (IRQ)\n\nSMBus 3.1 6.5.7 allows a Block Read byte count of 0, but the\ninterrupt-driven block-read state machine rejects it as -EPROTO. Worse,\nit returns without a NACK+STOP: the next receive cycle has already\nstarted, so the target keeps holding SDA and the bus stays stuck until a\npower cycle of this i2c controller.\n\nAccept count=0: NACK the in-flight dummy byte (TXAK) and set msg->len to\n2 so i2c_imx_isr_read_continue() emits STOP via its normal last-byte\npath. The dummy byte is discarded; block-read callers only consume\nbuf[0..count-1].\n\nReading I2DR has likewise already armed the next byte on the\ncount > I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX error path, so NACK it (TXAK) before aborting\nwith -EPROTO; otherwise the failing transfer's STOP cannot complete and\nthe bus stays held.\n\nThe atomic path regressed earlier (v3.16) and is fixed separately; this\npatch covers only the v6.13 state-machine rework."

"value": "AV:N - On NXP Layerscape/i.MX appliances, remotely reachable IPMI-over-LAN or management-plane requests invoke ipmi_ssif/pmbus i2c_smbus_read_block_data() on imx-i2c; a malicious or compromised bus peripheral returning SMBus block-read count 0 reaches the vulnerable IRQ handler without local login.\nAC:L - Once an SMBus block-read transaction is initiated and the target returns count byte 0 (a valid SMBus 3.1 response), the IRQ path deterministically omits NACK/STOP and locks the bus; the attacker controls both transaction initiation and slave response via compromised BMC/PMBus device or planted peripheral.\nPR:N - No Linux credentials are required when a malicious or compromised I2C slave returns count 0 during kernel-initiated SMBus block reads from IPMI SSIF, PMBus hwmon polling, or other automated drivers; OS privilege is not needed beyond influencing the bus response.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no victim interaction because kernel subsystems (IPMI SSIF, PMBus hwmon, sensor drivers) automatically perform SMBus block reads during normal remote-management or background monitoring operations once the bus device responds.\nS:U - Impact is confined to locking the imx-i2c controller and attached I2C bus within the same kernel/host security boundary; it does not cross VM, container, or IOMMU isolation boundaries.\nC:N - The flaw is a missing NACK/STOP during SMBus block-read length handling; it causes a stuck I2C bus but does not corrupt kernel memory, leak data, or provide read primitives.\nI:N - No kernel or user data is modified; the bug only leaves the I2C controller in a hung bus state without write primitives, code execution, or integrity violations beyond loss of bus function.\nA:H - A successful trigger permanently locks the imx-i2c bus until controller power-cycle, denying all further I2C/SMBus communication to PMICs, sensors, EEPROMs, and BMC SSIF on safety-critical embedded, automotive, and datacenter systems."
