When these devices, including PCI(-X) bridges, are set up, a lookup of the upstream bridge is required. This lookup involves acquiring a lock in a context where acquiring that lock is unsafe. This can lead to a deadlock situation, which an attacker could exploit to compromise the system or leak data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-3841315726\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>While a specific exploit code would depend on the precise system configuration and the attacker&#8217;s objectives, the core concept of exploiting this vulnerability might involve sending a flood of interrupt requests to the vulnerable device, as demonstrated in the pseudocode below:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">while True:\nsend_interrupt_request(target_device)<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This endless loop of interrupt requests could trigger the unsafe lock acquisition, potentially leading to a system deadlock and providing an opportunity for further exploitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The CVE-2025-1713 vulnerability is a severe issue affecting legacy PCI(-X) devices, including PCI(-X) bridges.
