Vulnerability in linux-hwe-edge (UBUNTU-CVE-2025-22091)

Summary

Vulnerability in linux-hwe-edge (UBUNTU-CVE-2025-22091). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/mlx5: Fix page_size variable overflow Change all variables storing mlx5_umem_mkc_find_best_pgsz() result to unsigned long to support values larger than 31 and avoid overflow. For example: If we try to register 4GB of memory that is contiguous in physical memory, the driver will optimize the page_size and try to use an mkey with 4GB entity size. The 'unsigned int' page_size variable will overflow to '0' and we'll hit the WARN_ON() in alloc_cacheable_mr().
