Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ARM: dts: bcm2711: Fix xHCI power-domain During s2idle tests on the Raspberry CM4 the VPU firmware always crashes on xHCI power-domain resume: root@raspberrypi:/sys/power# echo freeze > state [ 70.724347] xhci_suspend finished [ 70.727730] xhci_plat_suspend finished [ 70.755624] bcm2835-power bcm2835-power: Power grafx off [ 70.761127] USB: Set power to 0 [ 74.653040] USB: Failed to set power to 1 (-110) This seems to be caused because of the mixed usage of raspberrypi-power and bcm2835-power at the same time. So avoid the usage of the VPU firmware power-domain driver, which prevents the VPU crash.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Recommended fix High confidence

Linux kernel 6.12.21, 6.13.9, or 6.14.1 (next stable after 6.14)

  1. Upgrade the Linux kernel to version 6.12.21 or later if running kernel 6.12.x series
  2. Upgrade the Linux kernel to version 6.13.9 or later if running kernel 6.13.x series
  3. If running kernel 6.14, upgrade to the next stable release (6.14.1 or later)
  4. After kernel upgrade, verify the system boots correctly and test suspend/resume functionality on affected Raspberry Pi hardware (CM4, Raspberry Pi 4)
Caveat Device tree changes may require matching firmware updates on Raspberry Pi hardware; test thoroughly on non-production systems first
