What is CVE-2025-37761?

CVE-2025-37761 is a high-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 1 May 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

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

drm/xe: Fix an out-of-bounds shift when invalidating TLB

When the size of the range invalidated is larger than rounddown_pow_of_two(ULONG_MAX), The function macro roundup_pow_of_two(length) will hit an out-of-bounds shift [1].

Use a full TLB invalidation for such cases. v2: - Use a define for the range size limit over which we use a full TLB invalidation. (Lucas) - Use a better calculation of the limit.
