Technical description

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

irqchip/qcom-mpm: Prevent crash when trying to handle non-wake GPIOs

On Qualcomm chipsets not all GPIOs are wakeup capable. Those GPIOs do not

have a corresponding MPM pin and should not be handled inside the MPM

driver. The IRQ domain hierarchy is always applied, so it's required to

explicitly disconnect the hierarchy for those. The pinctrl-msm driver marks

these with GPIO_NO_WAKE_IRQ. qcom-pdc has a check for this, but

irq-qcom-mpm is currently missing the check. This is causing crashes when

setting up interrupts for non-wake GPIOs:

root@rb1:~# gpiomon -c gpiochip1 10

irq: IRQ159: trimming hierarchy from :soc@0:interrupt-controller@f200000-1

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff8000a1dc3820

Hardware name: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Robotics RB1 (DT)

pc : mpm_set_type+0x80/0xcc

lr : mpm_set_type+0x5c/0xcc

Call trace:

mpm_set_type+0x80/0xcc (P)

qcom_mpm_set_type+0

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2025-37901?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2025-37901 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
