CVE-2025-39809 — HID: intel-thc-hid: intel-quicki2c: Fix ACPI dsd ICRS/ISUB length

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: intel-thc-hid: intel-quicki2c: Fix ACPI dsd ICRS/ISUB length The QuickI2C ACPI _DSD methods return ICRS and ISUB data with a trailing byte, making the actual length is one more byte than the structs defined. It caused stack-out-of-bounds and kernel crash: kernel: BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in quicki2c_acpi_get_dsd_property.constprop.0+0x111/0x1b0 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: Write of size 12 at addr ffff888106d1f900 by task kworker/u33:2/75 kernel: kernel: CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 75 Comm: kworker/u33:2 Not tainted 6.16.0+ #3 PREEMPT(voluntary) kernel: Workqueue: async async_run_entry_fn kernel: Call Trace: kernel: <TASK> kernel: dump_stack_lvl+0x76/0xa0 kernel: print_report+0xd1/0x660 kernel: ? __pfx__raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x10/0x10 kernel: ? __kasan_slab_free+0x5d/0x80 kernel: ? kasan_addr_to_slab+0xd/0xb0 kernel: kasan_report+0xe1/0x120 kernel: ? quicki2c_acpi_get_dsd_property.constprop.0+0x111/0x1b0 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: ? quicki2c_acpi_get_dsd_property.constprop.0+0x111/0x1b0 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: kasan_check_range+0x11c/0x200 kernel: __asan_memcpy+0x3b/0x80 kernel: quicki2c_acpi_get_dsd_property.constprop.0+0x111/0x1b0 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: ? __pfx_quicki2c_acpi_get_dsd_property.constprop.0+0x10/0x10 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: quicki2c_get_acpi_resources+0x237/0x730 [intel_quicki2c] [...] kernel: </TASK> kernel: kernel: The buggy address belongs to stack of task kworker/u33:2/75 kernel: and is located at offset 48 in frame: kernel: quicki2c_get_acpi_resources+0x0/0x730 [intel_quicki2c] kernel: kernel: This frame has 3 objects: kernel: [32, 36) 'hid_desc_addr' kernel: [48, 59) 'i2c_param' kernel: [80, 224) 'i2c_config' ACPI DSD methods return: \_SB.PC00.THC0.ICRS Buffer 000000003fdc947b 001 Len 0C = 0A 00 80 1A 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 \_SB.PC00.THC0.ISUB Buffer 00000000f2fcbdc4 001 Len 91 = 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Adding reserved padding to quicki2c_subip_acpi_parameter/config.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+1
  • Technical severity (high)+6

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

  • Documented patch — git.kernel.org (NIST National Vulnerability Database)
  • Documented patch — git.kernel.org (NIST National Vulnerability Database)

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux, Linux Linux Kernel).
  2. Apply the fixed version or the patch documented under Remediation.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (memory corruption), errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2025-39809 is "HID: intel-thc-hid: intel-quicki2c: Fix ACPI dsd ICRS/ISUB length", rated High. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 7.8 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.16% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
