Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-10263)

CWE-ID: CWE-667 - Improper Locking

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper hardware synchronization in broadcast TLBI completion on affected arm64 CPUs when performing broadcast TLB invalidation. A local user can trigger memory access activity that relies on an invalidated TLB entry to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects only the completion of memory accesses translated by an invalidated TLB entry; the TLB invalidation itself still occurs correctly.
