CVE-2025-38690

Technical Description

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

drm/xe/migrate: prevent infinite recursion

If the buf + offset is not aligned to XE_CAHELINE_BYTES we fallback to

using a bounce buffer. However the bounce buffer here is allocated on

the stack, and the only alignment requirement here is that it's

naturally aligned to u8, and not XE_CACHELINE_BYTES. If the bounce

buffer is also misaligned we then recurse back into the function again,

however the new bounce buffer might also not be aligned, and might never

be until we eventually blow through the stack, as we keep recursing.

Instead of using the stack use kmalloc, which should respect the

power-of-two alignment request here. Fixes a kernel panic when

triggering this path through eudebug.

v2 (Stuart):

- Add build bug check for power-of-two restriction

- s/EINVAL/ENOMEM/

(cherry picked from commit 38b34e928a08ba594c4bbf7118aa3aadacd62fff)

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
