CVE-2025-37929 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

arm64: errata: Add missing sentinels to Spectre-BHB MIDR arrays

Commit a5951389e58d (rm64: errata: Add newer ARM cores to the spectre_bhb_loop_affected() lists) added some additional CPUs to the Spectre-BHB workaround including some new arrays for designs that require new ‘k’ values for the workaround to be effective.

Unfortunately the new arrays omitted the sentinel entry and so is_midr_in_range_list() will walk off the end when it doesn’t find a match. With UBSAN enabled this leads to a crash during boot when is_midr_in_range_list() is inlined (which was more common prior to c8c2647e69be (rm64: Make  _midr_in_range_list() an exported function)):

Add the missing sentinel entries.
