CVE-2025-71293 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/ras: Move ras data alloc before bad page check In the rare event if eeprom has only invalid address entries, allocation is skipped, this causes following NULL pointer issue [ 547.103445] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010 [ 547.118897] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 547.130292] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 547.141689] PGD 124757067 P4D 0 [ 547.148842] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI [ 547.158504] CPU: 49 PID: 8167 Comm: cat Tainted: G OE 6.8.0-38-generic #38-Ubuntu [ 547.177998] Hardware name: Supermicro AS -8126GS-TNMR/H14DSG-OD, BIOS 1.7 09/12/2025 [ 547.195178] RIP: 0010:amdgpu_ras_sysfs_badpages_read+0x2f2/0x5d0 [amdgpu] [ 547.210375] Code: e8 63 78 82 c0 45 31 d2 45 3b 75 08 48 8b 45 a0 73 44 44 89 f1 48 8b 7d 88 48 89 ca 48 c1 e2 05 48 29 ca 49 8b 4d 00 48 01 d1 <48> 83 79 10 00 74 17 49 63 f2 48 8b 49 08 41 83 c2 01 48 8d 34 76 [ 547.252045] RSP: 0018:ffa0000067287ac0 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 547.263636] RAX: ff11000167c28130 RBX: ff11000127600000 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 547.279467] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ff11000125b…

Matched remediation archetype

Buffer bounds, memory safety, and memory corruption

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

Check exposure

  • Identify affected native-code versions, build flags, architectures, parsers, codecs, drivers, and input paths in all shipped artifacts.
  • Determine whether untrusted data reaches the affected routine and the process privilege, sandbox, and network exposure.
  • Confirm statically linked, vendored, firmware, and platform-provided copies, not only package-manager records.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained upstream correction or replace the affected component, then rebuild every dependent artifact from clean inputs.
  • Adopt bounds-checked interfaces, validated sizes and integer conversions, clear ownership, and memory-safe components where practical.
  • Enable supported compiler and runtime hardening and add sanitized tests and fuzz regression seeds derived from non-weaponized fixtures.
