CVE-2025-39836
16.09.2025, 14:15
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efi: stmm: Fix incorrect buffer allocation method
The communication buffer allocated by setup_mm_hdr() is later on passed
to tee_shm_register_kernel_buf(). The latter expects those buffers to be
contiguous pages, but setup_mm_hdr() just uses kmalloc(). That can cause
various corruptions or BUGs, specifically since commit 9aec2fb0fd5e
("slab: allocate frozen pages"), though it was broken before as well.
Fix this by using alloc_pages_exact() instead of kmalloc().Enginsight| Vendor | Product | Version |
