CVE-2025-71270
Published: March 18, 2026· Updated: Mar 19, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: Enable exception fixup for specific ADE subcode
This patch allows the LoongArch BPF JIT to handle recoverable memory
access errors generated by BPF_PROBE_MEM* instructions.
When a BPF program performs memory access operations, the instructions
it executes may trigger ADEM exceptions. The kernel’s built-in BPF
exception table mechanism (EX_TYPE_BPF) will generate corresponding
exception fixup entries in the JIT compilation phase; however, the
architecture-specific trap handling function needs to proactively call
the common fixup routine to achieve exception recovery.
do_ade(): fix EX_TYPE_BPF memory access exceptions for BPF programs,
ensure safe execution.
Relevant test cases: illegal address access tests in module_attach and
subprogs_extable of selftests/bpf.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-71270 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
