Official Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

pmdomain: bcm: bcm2835-power: Increase ASB control timeout

The bcm2835_asb_control() function uses a tight polling loop to wait

for the ASB bridge to acknowledge a request. During intensive workloads,

this handshake intermittently fails for V3D's master ASB on BCM2711,

resulting in "Failed to disable ASB master for v3d" errors during

runtime PM suspend. As a consequence, the failed power-off leaves V3D in

a broken state, leading to bus faults or system hangs on later accesses.

As the timeout is insufficient in some scenarios, increase the polling

timeout from 1us to 5us, which is still negligible in the context of a

power domain transition. Also, replace the open-coded ktime_get_ns()/

cpu_relax() polling loop with readl_poll_timeout_atomic().

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-31550 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 5.5.
