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.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-22011 is a Linux kernel availability issue affecting the Raspberry Pi bcm2711/Compute Module 4 power-domain configuration. Under suspend/resume conditions, USB xHCI power handling can crash VPU firmware and leave USB power restoration failing. It is not a data theft issue, but it can disrupt affected devices.
Executive priority
Treat this as a targeted reliability and availability risk for Raspberry Pi CM4-class deployments, not a broad enterprise compromise risk. Patch during normal maintenance unless these devices support critical operations.
Technical view
The resolved kernel change updates ARM device tree handling for bcm2711 xHCI power-domain use. The bug involves mixed raspberrypi-power and bcm2835-power usage during s2idle resume, producing VPU firmware crash behavior and USB power resume failure. CVSS 3.1 is 5.5, local attack vector, low privileges, availability high, no confidentiality or integrity impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to Linux systems using the affected bcm2711/Raspberry Pi CM4 xHCI power-domain path. General Linux servers and non-bcm2711 platforms are not evidenced as affected in the supplied sources.
Exploitation context
The bundle does not show KEV listing or active exploitation. CVSS indicates local access with low privileges and no user interaction. Practical impact is likely denial of service or device disruption during suspend/resume on affected hardware.
Researcher notes
Evidence is narrow and kernel-specific. The affected-version summary in the bundle is compressed, so rely on upstream stable commits and distribution backports when determining exact exposure. Do not infer remote exploitability or confidentiality impact.
Mitigation direction
Apply a Linux kernel build containing the referenced stable fixes.
Check Raspberry Pi or distribution kernel advisories for packaged fix availability.
Prioritize devices that rely on suspend/resume or USB availability.
Avoid assuming non-upstream vendor kernels are fixed without vendor confirmation.
Validation and detection
Inventory bcm2711/Raspberry Pi CM4 Linux deployments and kernel versions.
Map deployed kernels to the referenced Linux stable commits or vendor advisories.
Review device logs for xHCI resume or USB power-domain failures.
Confirm post-update suspend/resume no longer causes USB restoration failure.
