CVE-2025-37761

7.8 · HIGH
Published May 1, 2025 linux CWE-125 EPSS 0.20% (10th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-37761 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 1, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe: Fix an out-of-bounds shift when invalidating TLB

When the size of the range invalidated is larger than

rounddown_pow_of_two(ULONG_MAX),

The function macro roundup_pow_of_two(length) will hit an out-of-bounds

shift [1].

Use a full TLB invalidation for such cases.

v2:

- Use a define for the range size limit over which we use a full

TLB invalidation. (Lucas)

- Use a better calculation of the limit.
