Linux Kernel vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2025-37768 is a vulnerability discovered in the Linux kernel's AMD power management component (drm/amd/pm). The issue was identified by the Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) using their SVACE tool and was disclosed on May 1, 2025 (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from a potential division by zero condition in the AMD power management module. Specifically, when a user can set any speed value, if the speed is greater than UINT_MAX/8, a division by zero becomes possible (Debian Tracker, Wiz).
Impact
The vulnerability affects multiple Linux distributions including Ubuntu versions 20.04 LTS through 25.04, and Debian distributions such as bullseye (5.10.223-1, 5.10.234-1), bookworm (6.1.129-1), and trixie (6.12.22-1) (Ubuntu, Debian Tracker).
Mitigation and workarounds
Fixed versions have been released for some distributions, including Debian bookworm (6.1.135-1) and sid (6.12.25-1) which contain the patch that addresses this vulnerability. The fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel version 6.15-rc1 (Debian Tracker).
