UBUNTU-CVE-2025-71122: High severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: Which systems are actually exposed?

Only test kernels built with CONFIG_IOMMUFD_TEST are affected. The listed Ubuntu kernel package variants are relevant only if they are running such a test-enabled kernel.

Q: What access does an attacker need?

The vulnerability has local attack vector and low privileges required. Exploitation involves supplying a crafted length through the IOMMU test ioctl.

Q: What can be done if the fix cannot be deployed immediately?

Avoid using a test kernel with CONFIG_IOMMUFD_TEST enabled. The issue is limited to that test configuration.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd/selftest: Check for overflow in IOMMUTESTOPADDRESERVED syzkaller found it could overflow math in the test infrastructure and cause a WARNON by corrupting the reserved interval tree. This only effects test kernels with CONFIGIOMMUFDTEST. Validate the user input length in the test ioctl.
