CVE-2025-40060

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The TRBE driver in the Linux kernel does not properly handle allocation failures. When buffer allocation fails, the driver returns an error code, but the calling function only checks for a NULL pointer, missing the error. This can lead to a kernel panic. The fix involves returning a NULL pointer from arm trbe alloc buffer() on allocation failures, allowing callers to handle the failure correctly.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
