Summary

In the fbdev (bitblit) subsystem of the Linux kernel, a missing bounds check for the font glyph index was found. This could lead to an out-of-bounds read of the built-in font array.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read kernel memory data beyond the intended area, potentially disclosing sensitive information.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2025-40322.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_putcs* bit_putcs_aligned()/unaligned() derived the glyph pointer from the character value masked by 0xff/0x1ff, which may exceed the actual font's glyph count and read past the end of the built-in font array. Clamp the index to the actual glyph count before computing the address. This fixes a global out-of-bounds read reported by syzbot.
