System crash via omitted regulator ramp delay
Published Jan 11, 2025 · Updated May 11, 2026
Denial of service in Linux 6.10 through 6.12.5 allows local users to crash AXP717-based systems by triggering CPU DVFS. The axp20x regulator descriptors omit the AXP717 ramp delay, so voltage transitions proceed without the chip's required settling interval. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access, an AXP717 platform, and CPU dynamic voltage and frequency scaling; the documented consequence is a system crash.
