lpc snoop

About this tag
The LPC snoop tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the Low Pin Count (LPC) bus snooping feature, particularly in the context of Aspeed System-on-Chip (SoC) families used in baseboard management controllers (BMCs) and server hardware. Content includes a Linux kernel fix for a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability (CVE-2025-38145) in the Aspeed LPC snoop helper, which is a high-priority stability update for systems using Aspeed-based SoCs or BMC firmware. The tag focuses on hardware-level debugging, security patches, and embedded system maintenance related to LPC snooping.

  1. Linux Kernel Fix: NULL Pointer Dereference in Aspeed LPC Snoop (CVE-2025-38145)

    A small defensive check landed in the upstream Linux kernel in mid‑2025 that closes a straightforward but dangerous NULL‑pointer dereference in the Aspeed LPC snoop helper — a fix that should be treated as a high‑priority stability update for systems that run Aspeed-based SoCs or BMC firmware...
