Nothing in the path is reachable from the network or from PCIe link traffic.\nAC:L - On affected hardware the poisoned resource entries are created unconditionally during boot-time probe, and every single read of /proc/iomem dereferences the stale stack pointer \u2014 no race, timing window, or memory-layout condition outside the attacker's control is involved. The attacker can also re-read repeatedly to sample different stack contents.\nPR:L - /proc/iomem is registered with mode 0 which resolves to 0444, and r_show() gates only the address fields behind CAP_SYS_ADMIN while printing r->name to everyone, so an ordinary unprivileged user triggers the bug. No capability, namespace, or group membership is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the read themselves; no victim action, no filesystem mount, and no administrator step is required beyond the driver having probed normally at boot.\nS:U - The stale read and any resulting fault occur entirely within the kernel's own security authority on the same host, with no crossing into a hypervisor, IOMMU, or other security scope.\nC:H - seq_printf(\"%s\") walks the reclaimed kernel stack from a fixed address until it happens to hit a NUL byte, so an unbounded quantity of stale kernel stack \u2014 potentially including saved return addresses and kernel pointers usable to defeat KASLR \u2014 is copied verbatim into a file readable by every local user. This is an unbounded out-of-scope read, not a few-byte bounded disclosure.\nI:N - The defect is a stale-pointer read only; devm_request_mem_region() merely stores the pointer and no code path writes through it, so no kernel object is corrupted and no write primitive arises.\nA:H - The commit explicitly documents that with no NUL terminator the string iterator overruns into unmapped memory above the stack and crashes the system; with VMAP_STACK the guard page (or an outright vfree'd stack) turns the dereference into a kernel oops. Any local user can attempt this on demand by reading /proc/iomem."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/pci/controller/pcie-rcar-ep.c"], "versions": [{"version": "2a6d0d63d99956a66f6605832f11755d74a41951", "lessThan": "7a47e14c5fb0b6dba7073be7b0119fb8fe864e01", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2a6d0d63d99956a66f6605832f11755d74a41951", "lessThan": "6987e021b64cbb49981d140bb72d9d1466f191c4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2a6d0d63d99956a66f6605832f11755d74a41951", "lessThan": "24576899c49509c0d533bcf569139f691d8f7af7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2a6d0d63d99956a66f6605832f11755d74a41951", "lessThan": "2c54b9fca1755e80a343ccfde0652dc5ea4744b2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2a6d0d63d99956a66f6605832f11755d74a41951", "lessThan": "9ff46b0bfeb6e0724a4ace015aa7a0b887cdb7c1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2a6d0d63d99956a66f6605832f11755d74a41951", "lessThan": "44708208c2a4b828a57a2abe7799c9d3962e7eaa", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2a6d0d63d99956a66f6605832f11755d74a41951", "lessThan": "2d2da5a4c1b4509f6f7e5a8db015cd420144beb4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/pci/controller/pcie-rcar-ep.c"], "versions": [{"version": "5.8", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "5.8", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.10.235", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.179", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.129", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.76", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.13", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.13.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.13.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.14", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.235"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.179"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.129"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.76"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.13"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.13.2"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.14"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a47e14c5fb0b6dba7073be7b0119fb8fe864e01"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6987e021b64cbb49981d140bb72d9d1466f191c4"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/24576899c49509c0d533bcf569139f691d8f7af7"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2c54b9fca1755e80a343ccfde0652dc5ea4744b2"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ff46b0bfeb6e0724a4ace015aa7a0b887cdb7c1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/44708208c2a4b828a57a2abe7799c9d3962e7eaa"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2d2da5a4c1b4509f6f7e5a8db015cd420144beb4"}], "title": "PCI: rcar-ep: Fix incorrect variable used when calling devm_request_mem_region()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [{"url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/05/msg00030.html"}, {"url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/03/msg00028.html"}], "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2025-11-03T20:59:44.459Z"}}]}}

This can lead to\nundefined behavior.\nDepending on the current contents of the memory, the manifestations of\nerrors may vary. One possible output may be as follows:\n$ cat /proc/iomem\n30000000-37ffffff :\n38000000-3fffffff :\nSometimes, garbage may appear after the colon.\nIn very rare cases, if no NULL-terminator is found in memory, the system\nmight crash because the string iterator will overrun which can lead to\naccess of unmapped memory above the stack.\nThus, fix this by replacing outbound_name with the name of the previously\nrequested resource. With the changes applied, the output will be as\nfollows:\n$ cat /proc/iomem\n30000000-37ffffff : memory2\n38000000-3fffffff : memory3\n[kwilczynski: commit log]"], "name": "CVE-2025-21804", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:10", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:6", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}], "public_date": "2025-02-27T00:00:00Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-21804\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-21804\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2025022753-CVE-2025-21804-dea6@gregkh/T"], "threat_severity": "Low"}
