CVE-2025-40112
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sparc: fix accurate exception reporting in copy_{from_to}_user for Niagara The referenced commit introduced exception handlers on user-space memory references in copy_from_user and copy_to_user. These handlers return from the respective function and calculate the remaining bytes left to copy using the current register contents. This commit fixes a couple of bad calculations and a broken epilogue in the exception handlers. This will prevent crashes and ensure correct return values of copy_from_user and copy_to_user in the faulting case. The behaviour of memcpy stays unchanged.

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:\n\nsparc: corrige el informe preciso de excepciones en copy_{from_to}_user para Niagara\n\nEl commit referenciado introdujo manejadores de excepciones en referencias de memoria de espacio de usuario en copy_from_user y copy_to_user. Estos manejadores regresan de la función respectiva y calculan los bytes restantes por copiar utilizando el contenido actual del registro. Este commit corrige un par de cálculos erróneos y un epílogo roto en los manejadores de excepciones. Esto evitará fallos y asegurará valores de retorno correctos de copy_from_user y copy_to_user en el caso de fallo. El comportamiento de memcpy permanece sin cambios."
