CVE-2025-71305 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/display/dp_mst: Add protection against 0 vcpi When releasing a timeslot there is a slight chance we may end up with the wrong payload mask due to overflow if the delayed_destroy_work ends up coming into play after a DP 2.1 monitor gets disconnected which causes vcpi to become 0 then we try to make the payload = ~BIT(vcpi - 1) which is a negative shift. VCPI id should never really be 0 hence skip changing the payload mask if VCPI is 0. Otherwise it leads to <7> [515.287237] xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm:drm_dp_mst_get_port_malloc [drm_display_helper]] port ffff888126ce9000 (3) <4> [515.287267] -----------[ cut here ]----------- <3> [515.287268] UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ../drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_mst_topology.c:4575:36 <3> [515.287271] shift exponent -1 is negative <4> [515.287275] CPU: 7 UID: 0 PID: 3108 Comm: kworker/u64:33 Tainted: G S U 6.17.0-rc6-lgci-xe-xe-3795-3e79699fa1b216e92+ #1 PREEMPT(voluntary) <4> [515.287279] Tainted: [S]=CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC, [U]=USER <4> [515.287279] Hardware name: ASUS System Product Name/PRIME Z790-P WIFI, BIOS 1645 03/15/2024 <4> [515.287281] Workqueue: drm_dp_mst_wq drm_dp_de…

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.
