| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: |
| |
| arm64: ptrace: fix partial SETREGSET for NT_ARM_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL |
| |
| Currently tagged_addr_ctrl_set() doesn't initialize the temporary 'ctrl' |
| variable, and a SETREGSET call with a length of zero will leave this |
| uninitialized. Consequently tagged_addr_ctrl_set() will consume an |
| arbitrary value, potentially leaking up to 64 bits of memory from the |
| kernel stack. The read is limited to a specific slot on the stack, and |
| the issue does not provide a write mechanism. |
| |
| As set_tagged_addr_ctrl() only accepts values where bits [63:4] zero and |
| rejects other values, a partial SETREGSET attempt will randomly succeed |
| or fail depending on the value of the uninitialized value, and the |
| exposure is significantly limited. |
| |
| Fix this by initializing the temporary value before copying the regset |
| from userspace, as for other regsets (e.g. NT_PRSTATUS, NT_PRFPREG, |
| NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL). In the case of a zero-length write, the existing |
| value of the tagged address ctrl will be retained. |
| |
| The NT_ARM_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL regset is only visible in the |
| user_aarch64_view used by a native AArch64 task to manipulate another |
| native AArch64 task. As get_tagged_addr_ctrl() only returns an error |
| value when called for a compat task, tagged_addr_ctrl_get() and |
| tagged_addr_ctrl_set() should never observe an error value from |
| get_tagged_addr_ctrl(). Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to both to indicate that |
| such an error would be unexpected, and error handlnig is not missing in |
| either case. |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-23128 to this issue. |

| Mitigation |
| ========== |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest |
| stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual |
| changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel |
| release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or |
| supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to |
| the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this |
| issue can be found at these commits: |
| https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1152dd13845efde5554f80c7e1233bae1d26bd3e |
