In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc:
alcor_pci: fix null-ptr-deref when there is no PCI bridge There is an issue
with the ASPM(optional) capability checking function. A device might be
attached to root complex directly, in this case, bus->self(bridge) will be
NULL, thus priv->parent_pdev is NULL. Since
alcor_pci_init_check_aspm(priv->parent_pdev) checks the PCI link’s ASPM
capability and populate parent_cap_off, which will be used later by
alcor_pci_aspm_ctrl() to dynamically turn on/off device, what we can do
here is to avoid checking the capability if we are on the root complex.
This will make pdev_cap_off 0 and alcor_pci_aspm_ctrl() will simply return
when bring called, effectively disable ASPM for the device. [ 1.246492]
