CVE-2025-71133 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2025-71133: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: avoid invalid read in irdma_net_event irdma_net_event() should not dereference anything from "neigh" (alias "ptr") until it has checked that the event is NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE. Other events come with different structures pointed to by "ptr" and they may be smaller than struct neighbour. Move the read of neigh->dev under the NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE case. The bug is mostly harmless, but it triggers KASAN on debug kernels: BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in irdma_net_event+0x32e/0x3b0 [irdma] Read of size 8 at addr ffffc900075e07f0 by task kworker/27:2/542554 CPU: 27 PID: 542554 Comm: kworker/27:2 Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.14.0-630.el9.x86_64+debug #1 Hardware name: [...] Workqueue: events rt6_probe_deferred Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack_lvl+0x60/0xb0 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x2c/0x3f0 print_report+0xb4/0x270 kasan_report+0x92/0xc0 irdma_net_event+0x32e/0x3b0 [irdma] notifier_call_chain+0x9e/0x180 atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x5c/0x110 rt6_do_redirect+0xb91/0x1080 tcp_v6_err+0xe9b/0x13e0 icmpv6_notify+0x2b2/0x630 ndisc_redirect_rcv+0x328/0x530 icmpv6_rcv+0xc16/0x1360 ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu+0xb84/0x12e0 ip6_input_finish+0x117/0x240 ip6_input+0xc4/0x370 ipv6_rcv+0x420/0x7d0 __netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x118/0x1b0 process_backlog+0xd1/0x5d0 __napi_poll.constprop.0+0xa3/0x440 net_rx_action+0x78a/0xba0 handle_softirqs+0x2d4/0x9c0 do_softirq+0xad/0xe0 </IRQ>

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2025-71133

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2025-71133 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2025-71133

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-71133.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2025-71133, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
