Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.1.128/6.6.77/6.12.13/6.13.2. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown function of the component fastrpc. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: fastrpc: Fix copy buffer page size For non-registered buffer, fastrpc driver copies the buffer and pass it to the remote subsystem. There is a problem with current implementation of page size calculation which is not considering the offset in the calculation. This might lead to passing of improper and out-of-bounds page size which could result in memory issue. Calculate page start and page end using the offset adjusted address instead of absolute address.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2025-21734 since 12/29/2024. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
