UBUNTU-CVE-2025-37958: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-azure vulnerability

Q: Who can exploit this issue?

The CVSS vector indicates local access and low privileges are required. Exploitation also depends on an additional attack condition and does not require user interaction.

Q: What runtime conditions are involved?

The fault can occur when a transparent huge page is being migrated while a deferred split scan concurrently accesses its PMD migration entry. The reported outcome is an invalid address access that can cause a kernel page fault.

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

The listed packages are ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, and ubuntu/linux-oracle.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/hugememory: fix dereferencing invalid pmd migration entry When migrating a THP, concurrent access to the PMD migration entry during a deferred split scan can lead to an invalid address access, as illustrated below. To prevent this invalid access, it is necessary to check the PMD migration entry and return early. In this context, there is no need to use pmdtoswpentry and pfnswapentrytopage to verify the equality of the target folio. Since the PMD migration entry is locked, it cannot be served as the target. Mailing list discussion and explanation from Hugh Dickins: "An anonvma lookup points to a location which may contain the folio of interest, but might instead contain another folio: and weeding out those other folios is precisely what the "folio != pmdfolio((pmd)" check (and the "risk of replacing the wrong folio" comment a few lines above it) is for."

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can exploit this issue?

The CVSS vector indicates local access and low privileges are required. Exploitation also depends on an additional attack condition and does not require user interaction.

What runtime conditions are involved?

The fault can occur when a transparent huge page is being migrated while a deferred split scan concurrently accesses its PMD migration entry. The reported outcome is an invalid address access that can cause a kernel page fault.

Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

The listed packages are ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, and ubuntu/linux-oracle.
