In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64/fpsimd: signal: Fix restoration of SVE context When SME is supported, Restoring SVE signal context can go wrong in a few ways, including placing the task into an invalid state where the kernel may read from out-of-bounds memory (and may potentially take a fatal fault) and/or may kill the task with a SIGKILL. (1) Restoring a context with SVE_SIG_FLAG_SM set can place the task into an invalid state where SVCR.SM is set (and sve_state is non-NULL) but TIF_SME is clear, consequently resuting in out-of-bounds memory reads and/or killing the task with SIGKILL. This can only occur in unusual (but legitimate) cases where the SVE signal context has either been modified by userspace or was saved in the context of another task (e.g. as with CRIU), as otherwise the presence of an SVE signal context with SVE_SIG_FLAG_SM implies that TIF_SME is already set. While in this state, task_fpsimd_load() will NOT configure SMCR_ELx (leaving some arbitrary value configured in hardware) before restoring SVCR and attempting to restore the streaming mode SVE registers from memory via sve_load_state(). As the value of SMCR_ELx.LEN may be larger than the task's streaming SVE vector length, this may read memory outside of the task's allocated sve_state, reading unrelated data and/or triggering a fault. While this can result in secrets being loaded into streaming SVE registers, these values are never exposed. As TIF_SME is clear, fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu() will configure CPACR_ELx.SMEN to trap EL0 accesses to streaming mode SVE registers, so these cannot be accessed directly at EL0. As fpsimd_save_user_state() verifies the live vector length before saving (S)SVE state to memory, no secret values can be saved back to memory (and hence cannot be observed via ptrace, signals, etc). When the live vector length doesn't match the expected vector length for the task, fpsimd_save_user_state() will send a fatal SIGKILL signal to the task. Hence the task may be killed after executing userspace for some period of time. (2) Restoring a context with SVE_SIG_FLAG_SM clear does not clear the task's SVCR.SM. If SVCR.SM was set prior to restoring the context, then the task will be left in streaming mode unexpectedly, and some register state will be combined inconsistently, though the task will be left in legitimate state from the kernel's PoV. This can only occur in unusual (but legitimate) cases where ptrace has been used to set SVCR.SM after entry to the sigreturn syscall, as syscall entry clears SVCR.SM. In these cases, the the provided SVE register data will be loaded into the task's sve_state using the non-streaming SVE vector length and the FPSIMD registers will be merged into this using the streaming SVE vector length. Fix (1) by setting TIF_SME when setting SVCR.SM. This also requires ensuring that the task's sme_state has been allocated, but as this could contain live ZA state, it should not be zeroed. Fix (2) by clearing SVCR.SM when restoring a SVE signal context with SVE_SIG_FLAG_SM clear. For consistency, I've pulled the manipulation of SVCR, TIF_SVE, TIF_SME, and fp_type earlier, immediately after the allocation of sve_state/sme_state, before the restore of the actual register state. This makes it easier to ensure that these are always modified consistently, even if a fault is taken while reading the register data from the signal context. I do not expect any software to depend on the exact state restored when a fault is taken while reading the context.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     6.1.162-1~deb11u1.  This update also fixes several bugs reported to     Debian.  It additionally includes many more bug fixes from stable     updates 6.1.160-6.1.162 inclusive.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux-6.1 packages.

    For the detailed security status of linux-6.1 please refer to     its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/linux-6.1

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 6.1.162-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

  - arm64/fpsimd: signal: Fix restoration of SVE context When SME is supported, Restoring SVE signal context     can go wrong in a few ways, including placing the task into an invalid state where the kernel may read     from out-of-bounds memory (and may potentially take a fatal fault) and/or may kill the task with a     SIGKILL. (1) Restoring a context with SVE_SIG_FLAG_SM set can place the task into an invalid state where     SVCR.SM is set (and sve_state is non-NULL) but TIF_SME is clear, consequently resuting in out-of-bounds     memory reads and/or killing the task with SIGKILL. This can only occur in unusual (but legitimate) cases     where the SVE signal context has either been modified by userspace or was saved in the context of another     task (e.g. as with CRIU), as otherwise the presence of an SVE signal context with SVE_SIG_FLAG_SM implies     that TIF_SME is already set. While in this state, task_fpsimd_load() will NOT configure SMCR_ELx (leaving     some arbitrary value configured in hardware) before restoring SVCR and attempting to restore the streaming     mode SVE registers from memory via sve_load_state(). As the value of SMCR_ELx.LEN may be larger than the     task's streaming SVE vector length, this may read memory outside of the task's allocated sve_state,     reading unrelated data and/or triggering a fault. While this can result in secrets being loaded into     streaming SVE registers, these values are never exposed. As TIF_SME is clear, fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu()     will configure CPACR_ELx.SMEN to trap EL0 accesses to streaming mode SVE registers, so these cannot be     accessed directly at EL0. As fpsimd_save_user_state() verifies the live vector length before saving (S)SVE     state to memory, no secret values can be saved back to memory (and hence cannot be observed via ptrace,     signals, etc). When the live vector length doesn't match the expected vector length for the task,     fpsimd_save_user_state() will send a fatal SIGKILL signal to the task. Hence the task may be killed after     executing userspace for some period of time. (2) Restoring a context with SVE_SIG_FLAG_SM clear does not     clear the task's SVCR.SM. If SVCR.SM was set prior to restoring the context, then the task will be left in     streaming mode unexpectedly, and some register state will be combined inconsistently, though the task will     be left in legitimate state from the kernel's PoV. This can only occur in unusual (but legitimate) cases     where ptrace has been used to set SVCR.SM after entry to the sigreturn syscall, as syscall entry clears     SVCR.SM. In these cases, the the provided SVE register data will be loaded into the task's sve_state using     the non-streaming SVE vector length and the FPSIMD registers will be merged into this using the streaming     SVE vector length. Fix (1) by setting TIF_SME when setting SVCR.SM. This also requires ensuring that the     task's sme_state has been allocated, but as this could contain live ZA state, it should not be zeroed. Fix     (2) by clearing SVCR.SM when restoring a SVE signal context with SVE_SIG_FLAG_SM clear. For consistency,     I've pulled the manipulation of SVCR, TIF_SVE, TIF_SME, and fp_type earlier, immediately after the     allocation of sve_state/sme_state, before the restore of the actual register state. This makes it easier     to ensure that these are always modified consistently, even if a fault is taken while reading the register     data from the signal context. I do not expect any software to depend on the exact state restored when a     fault is taken while reading the context. (CVE-2026-23102)
