CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2025-39741 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/migrate: don't overflow max copy size With non-page aligned copy, we need to use 4 byte aligned pitch, however the size itself might still be close to our maximum of ~8M, and so the dimensions of the copy can easily exceed the S16_MAX limit of the copy command leading to the following assert: xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm] Assertion `size / pitch <= ((s16)(((u16)~0U) >> 1))` failed! platform: BATTLEMAGE subplatform: 1 graphics: Xe2_HPG 20.01 step A0 media: Xe2_HPM 13.01 step A1 tile: 0 VRAM 10.0 GiB GT: 0 type 1 WARNING: CPU: 23 PID: 10605 at drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_migrate.c:673 emit_copy+0x4b5/0x4e0 [xe] To fix this account for the pitch when calculating the number of current bytes to copy. (cherry picked from commit 8c2d61e0e916e077fda7e7b8e67f25ffe0f361fc)

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.
