CVE-2025-39716

MediumCVSS 5.5/10Last modified Oct 19, 2026

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

parisc: Revise __get_user() to probe user read access

Because of the way read access support is implemented, read access interruptions are only triggered at privilege levels 2 and 3. The kernel executes at privilege level 0, so __get_user() never triggers a read access interruption (code 26). Thus, it is currently possible for user code to access a read protected address via a system call.

Fix this by probing read access rights at privilege level 3 (PRIV_USER) and setting __gu_err to -EFAULT (-14) if access isn't allowed.

Note the cmpiclr instruction does a 32-bit compare because COND macro doesn't work inside asm.
