CVE-2025-37960CVE-2025-37960
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memblock: Accept allocated memory before use in memblock_double_array()
When increasing the array size in memblock_double_array() and the slab
is not yet available, a call to memblock_find_in_range() is used to
reserve/allocate memory. However, the range returned may not have been
accepted, which can result in a crash when booting an SNP guest:
