CVE-2025-21803 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2025-21803: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: Fix warnings during S3 suspend The enable_gpe_wakeup() function calls acpi_enable_all_wakeup_gpes(), and the later one may call the preempt_schedule_common() function, resulting in a thread switch and causing the CPU to be in an interrupt enabled state after the enable_gpe_wakeup() function returns, leading to the warnings as follow. [ C0] WARNING: ... at kernel/time/timekeeping.c:845 ktime_get+0xbc/0xc8 [ C0] ...

Since there is no longer concurrent execution during loongarch_acpi_suspend(), we can call acpi_hw_enable_all_wakeup_gpes() directly in enable_gpe_wakeup(). The solution is similar to commit 22db06337f590d01 ("ACPI: sleep: Avoid breaking S3 wakeup due to might_sleep()").

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2025-21803

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2025-21803 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-2025-21803

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-21803.

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-2025-21803, 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.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2025-21803, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

Confidentiality: None
CVE-2025-21803 does not compromise confidentiality.
Integrity: None
CVE-2025-21803 does not impact data integrity.
Availability: None
CVE-2025-21803 does not affect system availability.

Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS)

The EPSS score estimates the probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the near future.

EPSS Score: 0.045% (probability of exploit)

EPSS Percentile: 18.4% (lower percentile = lower relative risk)
This vulnerability is less risky than approximately 81.6% of others.
