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:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information, modify data, or cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization in broadcast TLB invalidation handling in the arm64 TLB invalidation logic when processing TLBI and DSB sequences on affected Arm CPUs. A local user can trigger memory accesses involving translations from an invalidated TLB entry to disclose sensitive information, modify data, or cause a denial of service.
The issue affects only the completion of memory accesses translated by an invalidated TLB entry and does not prevent the actual invalidation of TLB entries.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
