UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38226: High severity ubuntu/linux-azure vulnerability

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

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

Q: What is the potential impact of successful exploitation?

The severity vector indicates high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the vulnerable component. The reported failure is a vmalloc out-of-bounds write in the V4L2 test-pattern generator buffer-fill path.

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

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

Q: How can I identify evidence of this issue on a system?

The provided report shows KASAN reporting a vmalloc-out-of-bounds write in tpg_fill_plane_pattern and tpg_fill_plane_buffer, with a vivid video task in the call trace. Similar kernel logs may indicate that the vulnerable path was reached.
