CVE-2025-21831

Technical Description

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

PCI: Avoid putting some root ports into D3 on TUXEDO Sirius Gen1

commit 9d26d3a8f1b0 ("PCI: Put PCIe ports into D3 during suspend") sets the

policy that all PCIe ports are allowed to use D3. When the system is

suspended if the port is not power manageable by the platform and won't be

used for wakeup via a PME this sets up the policy for these ports to go

into D3hot.

This policy generally makes sense from an OSPM perspective but it leads to

problems with wakeup from suspend on the TUXEDO Sirius 16 Gen 1 with a

specific old BIOS. This manifests as a system hang.

On the affected Device + BIOS combination, add a quirk for the root port of

the problematic controller to ensure that these root ports are not put into

D3hot at suspend.

apply

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
