CVE-2025-39775 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2025-39775: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/mremap: fix WARN with uffd that has remap events disabled Registering userfaultd on a VMA that spans at least one PMD and then mremap()'ing that VMA can trigger a WARN when recovering from a failed page table move due to a page table allocation error. The code ends up doing the right thing (recurse, avoiding moving actual page tables), but triggering that WARN is unpleasant: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 6133 at mm/mremap.c:357 move_normal_pmd mm/mremap.c:357 [inline] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 6133 at mm/mremap.c:357 move_pgt_entry mm/mremap.c:595 [inline] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 6133 at mm/mremap.c:357 move_page_tables+0x3832/0x44a0 mm/mremap.c:852 Modules linked in: CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 6133 Comm: syz.0.19 Not tainted 6.17.0-rc1-syzkaller-00004-g53e760d89498 #0 PREEMPT(full) Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2~bpo12+1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:move_normal_pmd mm/mremap.c:357 [inline] RIP: 0010:move_pgt_entry mm/mremap.c:595 [inline] RIP: 0010:move_page_tables+0x3832/0x44a0 mm/mremap.c:852 Code: ...

Fix it by checking for both VMAs and performing the check before the pmd_none() sanity check. Add a new helper where we perform+document that check for the PMD and PUD level. Thanks to Harry for bisecting.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2025-39775

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2025-39775 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-2025-39775

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-39775.

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-2025-39775, 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.
