UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40157: Low severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: Which systems are likely to encounter this issue?

The issue is described on some Intel Granite Rapids servers when the i10nm_edac driver loads. It occurs when BIOS has disabled a memory controller because no DIMMs are populated on that controller.

Q: What behavior indicates that a system is affected?

Affected systems may emit a UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds call trace during i10nm_edac driver initialization. The trace involves skx_get_dimm_info, i10nm_get_dimm_config, and an invalid DIMMMTR register value of ~0.

Q: Is an attacker required to trigger the issue?

No attacker interaction or exploit prerequisite is described. The reported condition is triggered by driver initialization on systems with a BIOS-disabled, unpopulated memory controller.

Q: What does the fix change?

The fix skips DIMM enumeration for disabled memory controllers, avoiding use of the invalid DIMMMTR register value.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: EDAC/i10nm: Skip DIMM enumeration on a disabled memory controller When loading the i10nmedac driver on some Intel Granite Rapids servers, a call trace may appear as follows: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/edac/skxcommon.c:453:16 shift exponent -66 is negative ... ubsanhandleshiftoutofbounds+0x1e3/0x390 skxgetdimminfo.cold+0x47/0xd40 [skxedaccommon] i10nmgetdimmconfig+0x23e/0x390 [i10nmedac] skxregistermci+0x159/0x220 [skxedaccommon] i10nminit+0xcb0/0x1ff0 [i10nmedac] ... This occurs because some BIOS may disable a memory controller if there aren't any memory DIMMs populated on this memory controller. The DIMMMTR register of this disabled memory controller contains the invalid value ~0, resulting in the call trace above. Fix this call trace by skipping DIMM enumeration on a disabled memory controller.
