CVE-2025-40113

What the bug is

The ADSP firmware on X1E has separate firmware binaries for the main firmware and the DTB. The same applies for the "lite" firmware loaded by the boot firmware. When preparing to load the new ADSP firmware we shutdown the lite_pas_id for the main firmware, but we don't shutdown the corresponding lite pas_id for the DTB. The fact that we're leaving it "running" forever becomes obvious if you try to reuse (or just access) the memory region used by the "lite" firmware: The &adsp_boot_mem is accessible, but accessing the &adsp_boot_dtb_mem results in a crash. We don't support reusing the memory regions currently, but nevertheless we should not keep part of the lite firmware running. Fix this by adding the lite_dtb_pas_id and shutting it down as well. We don't have a way to detect if the lite firmware is actually running yet, so ignore the return status of qcom_scm_pas_shutdown() for now. This was already the case before, the assignment to "ret" is not used anywhere.

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

REMOTE PROCESSOR (REMOTEPROC) SUBSYSTEMMAINTAINERS section matched on drivers/remoteproc/ · linux-remoteproc@vger.kernel.org · Maintained

Kernel module

qcom_q6v5_pas

Check it on the machine

grep -wE 'CONFIG_QCOM_Q6V5_PAS|CONFIG_REMOTEPROC' /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

lsmod | grep -w qcom_q6v5_pas

Prints a line if that module is loaded right now, and nothing if it is not. One that is not loaded can still be loaded later by anything that needs it.

Debian does not build this code in 1 release. It does build it in 3 releases, so the answer depends on which release the machine runs.

From the configuration Debian publishes for every kernel flavour it builds. It covers only the architectures Debian ships a linux-config package for, and nothing about a kernel you built yourself.
