CVE-2025-39704

  • Published: 2025-09-05T18:15:47.567

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: KVM: Fix stack protector issue in send_ipi_data()

Function kvm_io_bus_read() is called in function send_ipi_data(), buffer
size of parameter *val should be at least 8 bytes. Since some emulation
functions like loongarch_ipi_readl() and kvm_eiointc_read() will write
the buffer *val with 8 bytes signed extension regardless parameter len.

Otherwise there will be buffer overflow issue when CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR
is enabled. The bug report is shown as follows:

Kernel panic – not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: send_ipi_data+0x194/0x1a0 [kvm]
