Overview

CVE-2025-40161 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on November 12, 2025.

Technical description

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

mailbox: zynqmp-ipi: Fix SGI cleanup on unbind

The driver incorrectly determines SGI vs SPI interrupts by checking IRQ

number < 16, which fails with dynamic IRQ allocation. During unbind,

this causes improper SGI cleanup leading to kernel crash.

Add explicit irq_type field to pdata for reliable identification of SGI

interrupts (type-2) and only clean up SGI resources when appropriate.
