CVE-2025-40152

What is known

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm: Fix bootup splat with separate_gpu_drm modparam The drm_gem_for_each_gpuvm_bo() call from lookup_vma() accesses drm_gem_obj.gpuva.list, which is not initialized when the drm driver does not support DRIVER_GEM_GPUVA feature. Enable it for msm_kms drm driver to fix the splat seen when msm.separate_gpu_drm=1 modparam is set: [ 9.506020] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffffffffffff0 [ 9.523160] Mem abort info: [ 9.523161] ESR = 0x0000000096000006 [ 9.523163] EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 9.523165] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 9.523166] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 9.523167] FSC = 0x06: level 2 translation fault [ 9.523169] Data abort info: [ 9.523170] ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000006, ISS2 = 0x00000000 [ 9.523171] CM = 0, WnR = 0, TnD = 0, TagAccess = 0 [ 9.523172] GCS = 0, Overlay = 0, DirtyBit = 0, Xs = 0 [ 9.523174] swapper pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000ad370f000 [ 9.523176] [fffffffffffffff0] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000ad4787403, pud=0000000ad4788403, pmd=0000000000000000 [ 9.523184] Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000006 [#1] SMP [ 9.592968] CPU: 9 UID: 0 PID: 448 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 6.17.0-rc4-assorted-fix-00005-g0e9bb53a2282-dirty #3 PREEMPT [ 9.592970] Hardware name: Qualcomm CRD, BIOS 6.0.240718.BOOT.MXF.2.4-00515-HAMOA-1 07/18/2024 [ 9.592971] pstate: a1400005 (NzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 9.592973] pc : lookup_vma+0x28/0xe0 [msm] [ 9.592996] lr : get_vma_locked+0x2c/0x128 [msm] [ 9.763632] sp : ffff800082dab460 [ 9.763666] Call trace: [ 9.763668] lookup_vma+0x28/0xe0 [msm] (P) [ 9.763688] get_vma_locked+0x2c/0x128 [msm] [ 9.763706] msm_gem_get_and_pin_iova_range+0x68/0x11c [msm] [ 9.763723] msm_gem_get_and_pin_iova+0x18/0x24 [msm] [ 9.763740] msm_fbdev_driver_fbdev_probe+0xd0/0x258 [msm] [ 9.763760] __drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock+0x288/0x528 [drm_kms_helper] [ 9.763771] drm_fb_helper_initial_config+0x44/0x54 [drm_kms_helper] [ 9.763779] drm_fbdev_client_hotplug+0x84/0xd4 [drm_client_lib] [ 9.763782] drm_client_register+0x58/0x9c [drm] [ 9.763806] drm_fbdev_client_setup+0xe8/0xcf0 [drm_client_lib] [ 9.763809] drm_client_setup+0xb4/0xd8 [drm_client_lib] [ 9.763811] msm_drm_kms_post_init+0x2c/0x3c [msm] [ 9.763830] msm_drm_init+0x1a8/0x22c [msm] [ 9.763848] msm_drm_bind+0x30/0x3c [msm] [ 9.919273] try_to_bring_up_aggregate_device+0x168/0x1d4 [ 9.919283] __component_add+0xa4/0x170 [ 9.919286] component_add+0x14/0x20 [ 9.919288] msm_dp_display_probe_tail+0x4c/0xac [msm] [ 9.919315] msm_dp_auxbus_done_probe+0x14/0x20 [msm] [ 9.919335] dp_aux_ep_probe+0x4c/0xf0 [drm_dp_aux_bus] [ 9.919341] really_probe+0xbc/0x298 [ 9.919345] __driver_probe_device+0x78/0x12c [ 9.919348] driver_probe_device+0x40/0x160 [ 9.919350] __driver_attach+0x94/0x19c [ 9.919353] bus_for_each_dev+0x74/0xd4 [ 9.919355] driver_attach+0x24/0x30 [ 9.919358] bus_add_driver+0xe4/0x208 [ 9.919360] driver_register+0x60/0x128 [ 9.919363] __dp_aux_dp_driver_register+0x24/0x30 [drm_dp_aux_bus] [ 9.919365] atana33xc20_init+0x20/0x1000 [panel_samsung_atna33xc20] [ 9.919370] do_one_initcall+0x6c/0x1b0 [ 9.919374] do_init_module+0x58/0x234 [ 9.919377] load_module+0x19cc/0x1bd4 [ 9.919380] init_module_from_file+0x84/0xc4 [ 9.919382] __arm64_sys_finit_module+0x1b8/0x2cc [ 9.919384] invoke_syscall+0x48/0x110 [ 9.919389] el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0xc8/0xe8 [ 9.919393] do_el0_svc+0x20/0x2c [ 9.919396] el0_svc+0x34/0xf0 [ 9.919401] el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xe4 [ 9.919403] el0t_64_sync+0x198/0x19c [ 9.919407] Code: eb0000bf 54000480 d100a003 aa0303e2 (f8418c44) [ 9.919410] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/pa ---truncated---

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-40152, a reported vulnerability affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
