CVSS Release:
CVE-2025-39809: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: intel-thc-hid: intel-quicki2c: Fix ACPI dsd ICRS/ISUB length The QuickI2C ACPI _DSD methods return ICRS and ISUB data with a trailing byte, making the actual length is one more byte than the structs defined. It caused stack-out-of-bounds and kernel crash: kernel: BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in quicki2c_acpi_get_dsd_property.constprop.0+0x111/0x1b0 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: Write of size 12 at addr ffff888106d1f900 by task kworker/u33:2/75 kernel: kernel: CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 75 Comm: kworker/u33:2 Not tainted 6.16.0+ #3 PREEMPT(voluntary) kernel: Workqueue: async async_run_entry_fn kernel: Call Trace: kernel: <TASK> kernel: dump_stack_lvl+0x76/0xa0 kernel: print_report+0xd1/0x660 kernel: ? __pfx__raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x10/0x10 kernel: ? __kasan_slab_free+0x5d/0x80 kernel: ? kasan_addr_to_slab+0xd/0xb0 kernel: kasan_report+0xe1/0x120 kernel: ? quicki2c_acpi_get_dsd_property.constprop.0+0x111/0x1b0 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: ? quicki2c_acpi_get_dsd_property.constprop.0+0x111/0x1b0 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: kasan_check_range+0x11c/0x200 kernel: __asan_memcpy+0x3b/0x80 kernel: quicki2c_acpi_get_dsd_property.constprop.0+0x111/0x1b0 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: ? __pfx_quicki2c_acpi_get_dsd_property.constprop.0+0x10/0x10 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: quicki2c_get_acpi_resources+0x237/0x730 [intel_quicki2c] [...] kernel: </TASK> kernel: kernel: The buggy address belongs to stack of task kworker/u33:2/75 kernel: and is located at offset 48 in frame: kernel: quicki2c_get_acpi_resources+0x0/0x730 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: kernel: This frame has 3 objects: kernel: [32, 36) 'hid_desc_addr' kernel: [48, 59) 'i2c_param' kernel: [80, 224) 'i2c_config' ACPI DSD methods return: \_SB.PC00.THC0.ICRS Buffer 000000003fdc947b 001 Len 0C = 0A 00 80 1A 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 \_SB.PC00.THC0.ISUB Buffer 00000000f2fcbdc4 001 Len 91 = 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Adding reserved padding to quicki2c_subip_acpi_parameter/config.
The exploitability of CVE-2025-39809 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).
No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-39809.
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.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2025-39809, 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.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2025-39809, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
