# CVE-2025-39741: drm/xe/migrate: don't overflow max copy size

> An integer overflow in the Linux kernel's Xe GPU driver can cause a system assertion failure and crash when processing large non-page-aligned copy operations.

- **Severity:** Medium 5.5 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H`)
- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known
- **Login needed:** Any signed-in user
- **Attackable:** Local or same network only
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed
- **Fix available:** Yes
- **Published:** 11 Sep 2025
- **Updated:** 11 May 2026
- **Also known as:** BELL-CVE-2025-39741, GHSA-wh8m-6mqf-wcpv, UBUNTU-CVE-2025-39741

## What is CVE-2025-39741?

CVE-2025-39741 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 11 Sep 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/migrate: don't overflow max copy size

With non-page aligned copy, we need to use 4 byte aligned pitch, however
the size itself might still be close to our maximum of ~8M, and so the
dimensions of the copy can easily exceed the S16_MAX limit of the copy
command leading to the following assert:

xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm] Assertion `size / pitch <= ((s16)(((u16)~0U) >> 1))` failed!
platform: BATTLEMAGE subplatform: 1
graphics: Xe2_HPG 20.01 step A0
media: Xe2_HPM 13.01 step A1
tile: 0 VRAM 10.0 GiB
GT: 0 type 1

WARNING: CPU: 23 PID: 10605 at drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_migrate.c:673 emit_copy+0x4b5/0x4e0 [xe]

To fix this account for the pitch when calculating the number of current
bytes to copy.

(cherry picked from commit 8c2d61e0e916e077fda7e7b8e67f25ffe0f361fc)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2025-39741 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2025-39741 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 11 Sep 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-39741 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
