UBUNTU-CVE-2025-71077: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm: Cap the number of PCR banks tpm2getpcrallocation() does not cap any upper limit for the number of banks. Cap the limit to eight banks so that out of bounds values coming from external I/O cause on only limited harm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is realistically exposed to this issue?
Systems running one of the listed Ubuntu kernel packages are in scope. Exploitation requires local access with low privileges; the attack vector is local rather than network-based.
What does an attacker need to exploit it?
An attacker needs a local account or another way to execute code locally with low privileges. No user interaction is required.
What is the likely impact if exploitation succeeds?
The provided severity vector indicates availability impact only, with no stated confidentiality or integrity impact. The flaw involves out-of-bounds PCR-bank values received through external I/O, and the fix limits the number of PCR banks to eight.
