UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21734: High severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

The listed software includes ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips, and ubuntu/linux-realtime.

Q: What access does an attacker need to exploit this issue?

The severity vector indicates local access and low privileges are required. No user interaction is required.

Q: What is the potential impact if exploitation succeeds?

The issue can lead to an improper, out-of-bounds page size being passed for a non-registered buffer, resulting in a memory issue. The supplied severity vector rates confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact as high.

Q: What code path is involved?

The issue is in the Linux kernel fastrpc driver when it copies a non-registered buffer for a remote subsystem. The corrected implementation calculates page start and page end using the offset-adjusted address rather than the absolute address.

Published Feb 27, 2025

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: fastrpc: Fix copy buffer page size For non-registered buffer, fastrpc driver copies the buffer and pass it to the remote subsystem. There is a problem with current implementation of page size calculation which is not considering the offset in the calculation. This might lead to passing of improper and out-of-bounds page size which could result in memory issue. Calculate page start and page end using the offset adjusted address instead of absolute address.

Compensating control
In the Linux kernel fastrpc driver, calculate the page start and page end for non-registered buffers using the offset-adjusted address rather than the absolute address, so the copied buffer's page size is correct and does not become improper or out of bounds.
