CVE-2025-39722 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: caam - Prevent crash on suspend with iMX8QM / iMX8ULP Since the CAAM on these SoCs is managed by another ARM core, called the SECO (Security Controller) on iMX8QM and Secure Enclave on iMX8ULP, which also reserves access to register page 0 suspend operations cannot touch this page. This is similar to when running OPTEE, where OPTEE will reserve page 0. Track this situation using a new state variable no_page0, reflecting if page 0 is reserved elsewhere, either by other management cores in SoC or by OPTEE. Replace the optee_en check in suspend/resume with the new check. optee_en cannot go away as it's needed elsewhere to gate OPTEE specific situations. Fixes the following splat at suspend: Internal error: synchronous external abort: 0000000096000010 [#1] SMP Hardware name: Freescale i.MX8QXP ACU6C (DT) pstate: 60400005 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : readl+0x0/0x18 lr : rd_reg32+0x18/0x3c sp : ffffffc08192ba20 x29: ffffffc08192ba20 x28: ffffff8025190000 x27: 0000000000000000 x26: ffffffc0808ae808 x25: ffffffc080922338 x24: ffffff8020e89090 x23: 0000000000000000 x22: ffffffc080922000 x21…

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
