Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2025-39739)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2025-39739). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.6.103, 6.12.43, 6.15.11, 6.16.2 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/arm-smmu-qcom: Add SM6115 MDSS compatible

Add the SM6115 MDSS compatible to clients compatible list, as it also
needs that workaround.
Without this workaround, for example, QRB4210 RB2 which is based on
SM4250/SM6115 generates a lot of smmu unhandled context faults during
boot:

arm_smmu_context_fault: 116854 callbacks suppressed
arm-smmu c600000.iommu: Unhandled context fault: fsr=0x402,
iova=0x5c0ec600, fsynr=0x320021, cbfrsynra=0x420, cb=5
arm-smmu c600000.iommu: FSR = 00000402 [Format=2 TF], SID=0x420
arm-smmu c600000.iommu: FSYNR0 = 00320021 [S1CBNDX=50 PNU PLVL=1]
arm-smmu c600000.iommu: Unhandled context fault: fsr=0x402,
iova=0x5c0d7800, fsynr=0x320021, cbfrsynra=0x420, cb=5
arm-smmu c600000.iommu: FSR = 00000402 [Format=2 TF], SID=0x420

and also failed initialisation of lontium lt9611uxc, gpu and dpu is
observed:
(binding MDSS components triggered by lt9611uxc have failed)

❓ What is the problem

A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Kernel.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Kernel.

🔥 Severity

Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 6.6.103, 6.12.43, 6.15.11, 6.16.2.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'Kernel' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Kernel' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade Kernel to 6.6.103, 6.12.43, 6.15.11, 6.16.2
```
ステージング環境で 6.6.103, 6.12.43, 6.15.11, 6.16.2 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
