CVE-2025-71305 — drm/display/dp_mst: Add protection against 0 vcpi

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/display/dp_mst: Add protection against 0 vcpi When releasing a timeslot there is a slight chance we may end up with the wrong payload mask due to overflow if the delayed_destroy_work ends up coming into play after a DP 2.1 monitor gets disconnected which causes vcpi to become 0 then we try to make the payload = ~BIT(vcpi - 1) which is a negative shift. VCPI id should never really be 0 hence skip changing the payload mask if VCPI is 0. Otherwise it leads to <7> [515.287237] xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm:drm_dp_mst_get_port_malloc [drm_display_helper]] port ffff888126ce9000 (3) <4> [515.287267] -----------[ cut here ]----------- <3> [515.287268] UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ../drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_mst_topology.c:4575:36 <3> [515.287271] shift exponent -1 is negative <4> [515.287275] CPU: 7 UID: 0 PID: 3108 Comm: kworker/u64:33 Tainted: G S U 6.17.0-rc6-lgci-xe-xe-3795-3e79699fa1b216e92+ #1 PREEMPT(voluntary) <4> [515.287279] Tainted: [S]=CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC, [U]=USER <4> [515.287279] Hardware name: ASUS System Product Name/PRIME Z790-P WIFI, BIOS 1645 03/15/2024 <4> [515.287281] Workqueue: drm_dp_mst_wq drm_dp_delayed_destroy_work [drm_display_helper] <4> [515.287303] Call Trace: <4> [515.287304] <TASK> <4> [515.287306] dump_stack_lvl+0xc1/0xf0 <4> [515.287313] dump_stack+0x10/0x20 <4> [515.287316] __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x133/0x2e0 <4> [515.287324] ? drm_atomic_get_private_obj_state+0x186/0x1d0 <4> [515.287333] drm_dp_atomic_release_time_slots.cold+0x17/0x3d [drm_display_helper] <4> [515.287355] mst_connector_atomic_check+0x159/0x180 [xe] <4> [515.287546] drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset+0x4d9/0xfa0 <4> [515.287550] ? __ww_mutex_lock.constprop.0+0x6f/0x1a60 <4> [515.287562] intel_atomic_check+0x119/0x2b80 [xe] <4> [515.287740] ? find_held_lock+0x31/0x90 <4> [515.287747] ? lock_release+0xce/0x2a0 <4> [515.287754] drm_atomic_check_only+0x6a2/0xb40 <4> [515.287758] ? drm_atomic_add_affected_connectors+0x12b/0x140 <4> [515.287765] drm_atomic_commit+0x6e/0xf0 <4> [515.287766] ? _pfx__drm_printfn_info+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287774] drm_client_modeset_commit_atomic+0x25c/0x2b0 <4> [515.287794] drm_client_modeset_commit_locked+0x60/0x1b0 <4> [515.287795] ? mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x30 <4> [515.287801] drm_client_modeset_commit+0x26/0x50 <4> [515.287804] __drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked+0xdc/0x110 <4> [515.287810] drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event+0x120/0x140 <4> [515.287814] drm_fbdev_client_hotplug+0x28/0xd0 <4> [515.287819] drm_client_hotplug+0x6c/0xf0 <4> [515.287824] drm_client_dev_hotplug+0x9e/0xd0 <4> [515.287829] drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event+0x1a/0x30 <4> [515.287834] drm_dp_delayed_destroy_work+0x3df/0x410 [drm_display_helper] <4> [515.287861] process_one_work+0x22b/0x6f0 <4> [515.287874] worker_thread+0x1e8/0x3d0 <4> [515.287879] ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287882] kthread+0x11c/0x250 <4> [515.287886] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287890] ret_from_fork+0x2d7/0x310 <4> [515.287894] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287897] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30

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 (medium)+3

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.

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, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2025-71305 is "drm/display/dp_mst: Add protection against 0 vcpi", rated Medium. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 5.5 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.
