Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2025-10263

Published: July 14, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU137404
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.8 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2025-10263
CWE-ID: CWE-362
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization in broadcast TLB invalidation completion handling in the arm64 CPU errata logic when performing memory accesses translated by an invalidated TLB entry after a TLBI;DSB sequence. A local user can trigger affected memory access patterns to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects certain Arm CPUs on arm64 systems and does not prevent invalidation of TLB entries themselves.
