CVE-2025-71305

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/display/dp_mst: Add protection against 0 vcpi When releasing a timeslot there is a slight chance we may end up with the wrong payload mask due to overflow if the delayed_destroy_work ends up coming into play after a DP 2.1 monitor gets disconnected which causes vcpi to become 0 then we try to make the payload = ~BIT(vcpi - 1) which is a negative shift. VCPI id should never really be 0 hence skip changing the payload mask if VCPI is 0. Otherwise it leads to <7> [515.287237] xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm:drm_dp_mst_get_port_malloc [drm_display_helper]] port ffff888126ce9000 (3) <4> [515.287267] -----------[ cut here ]----------- <3> [515.287268] UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ../drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_mst_topology.c:4575:36 <3> [515.287271] shift exponent -1 is negative <4> [515.287275] CPU: 7 UID: 0 PID: 3108 Comm: kworker/u64:33 Tainted: G S U 6.17.0-rc6-lgci-xe-xe-3795-3e79699fa1b216e92+ #1 PREEMPT(voluntary) <4> [515.287279] Tainted: [S]=CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC, [U]=USER <4> [515.287279] Hardware name: ASUS System Product Name/PRIME Z790-P WIFI, BIOS 1645 03/15/2024 <4> [515.287281] Workqueue: drm_dp_mst_wq drm_dp_delayed_destroy_work [drm_display_helper] <4> [515.287303] Call Trace: <4> [515.287304] <TASK> <4> [515.287306] dump_stack_lvl+0xc1/0xf0 <4> [515.287313] dump_stack+0x10/0x20 <4> [515.287316] __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x133/0x2e0 <4> [515.287324] ? drm_atomic_get_private_obj_state+0x186/0x1d0 <4> [515.287333] drm_dp_atomic_release_time_slots.cold+0x17/0x3d [drm_display_helper] <4> [515.287355] mst_connector_atomic_check+0x159/0x180 [xe] <4> [515.287546] drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset+0x4d9/0xfa0 <4> [515.287550] ? __ww_mutex_lock.constprop.0+0x6f/0x1a60 <4> [515.287562] intel_atomic_check+0x119/0x2b80 [xe] <4> [515.287740] ? find_held_lock+0x31/0x90 <4> [515.287747] ? lock_release+0xce/0x2a0 <4> [515.287754] drm_atomic_check_only+0x6a2/0xb40 <4> [515.287758] ? drm_atomic_add_affected_connectors+0x12b/0x140 <4> [515.287765] drm_atomic_commit+0x6e/0xf0 <4> [515.287766] ? _pfx__drm_printfn_info+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287774] drm_client_modeset_commit_atomic+0x25c/0x2b0 <4> [515.287794] drm_client_modeset_commit_locked+0x60/0x1b0 <4> [515.287795] ? mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x30 <4> [515.287801] drm_client_modeset_commit+0x26/0x50 <4> [515.287804] __drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked+0xdc/0x110 <4> [515.287810] drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event+0x120/0x140 <4> [515.287814] drm_fbdev_client_hotplug+0x28/0xd0 <4> [515.287819] drm_client_hotplug+0x6c/0xf0 <4> [515.287824] drm_client_dev_hotplug+0x9e/0xd0 <4> [515.287829] drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event+0x1a/0x30 <4> [515.287834] drm_dp_delayed_destroy_work+0x3df/0x410 [drm_display_helper] <4> [515.287861] process_one_work+0x22b/0x6f0 <4> [515.287874] worker_thread+0x1e8/0x3d0 <4> [515.287879] ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287882] kthread+0x11c/0x250 <4> [515.287886] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287890] ret_from_fork+0x2d7/0x310 <4> [515.287894] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287897] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30

Review the affected-product evidence and linked vendor advisories before assigning exposure status.

Assessment: Potential exposure only — validate the installed product, exact version, configuration and vendor applicability before treating an asset as confirmed vulnerable.

Evidence confidence: Moderate Evidence-derived, not an exploitability verdict

Technical explanation & impact

The technical mechanism is not expanded beyond the source description unless a referenced advisory supplies additional evidence. Read the linked vendor/CERT advisories for root-cause detail.

Potential impact must be interpreted from the published CVSS impact metrics and the affected component. A CVSS impact score is not proof that a particular asset is exploitable.

Remediation & validation

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
  3. Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
  4. Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
