Summary

In the Linux kernel, KVM for ARM64 lacks offset validation in the FF-A memory share operation. An untrusted large offset can cause out-of-bounds access in the hypervisor buffer.

Risk Assessment

The organization risks breaking isolation between virtual machines and the hypervisor, potentially allowing an attacker to access hypervisor memory.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2025-40266.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Check the untrusted offset in FF-A memory share Verify the offset to prevent OOB access in the hypervisor FF-A buffer in case an untrusted large enough value [U32_MAX - sizeof(struct ffa_composite_mem_region) + 1, U32_MAX] is set from the host kernel.
