Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/i915/mst: limit DP MST ESI service loop<br />
<br />
The loop in intel_dp_check_mst_status() keeps servicing interrupts<br />
originating from the sink without bound. Add an upper bound to the new<br />
interrupts occurring during interrupt processing to not get stuck on<br />
potentially stuck sink devices. Use arbitrary 32 tries to clear incoming<br />
interrupts in one go.<br />
<br />
Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product<br />
Security.<br />
<br />
Note: The condition likely pre-dates the commit in the Fixes: tag, but<br />
this is about as far back as a backport has any chance of<br />
succeeding. Before that, the retry had a goto.<br />
<br />
(cherry picked from commit b4ea5272133059acb493cc36599071a9e852ec2e)
