Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.12.22/6.13.10/6.14.1. This affects the function cdns_mrvl_xspi_setup_clock. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a array index vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-129. The product uses untrusted input when calculating or using an array index, but the product does not validate or incorrectly validates the index to ensure the index references a valid position within the array. The impact remains unknown. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: cadence: Fix out-of-bounds array access in cdns_mrvl_xspi_setup_clock() If requested_clk > 128, cdns_mrvl_xspi_setup_clock() iterates over the entire cdns_mrvl_xspi_clk_div_list array without breaking out early, causing 'i' to go beyond the array bounds. Fix that by stopping the loop when it gets to the last entry, clamping the clock to the minimum 6.25 MHz. Fixes the following warning with an UBSAN kernel: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: cdns_mrvl_xspi_setup_clock: unexpected end of section .text.cdns_mrvl_xspi_setup_clock

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2025-22067 since 12/29/2024. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 02/15/2026).
