Since the addr range [addr1 + 4096,\naddr1 + 8192] still maps the file, it will take vma_merge_new_range to\nexpand the range, and then do uprobe_mmap in vma_complete.  Since the\nmerged vma pgoff is also zero offset, it will install uprobe anon page to\nthe merged vma.  However, the upcomming move_page_tables step, which use\nset_pte_at to remap the vma2 uprobe pte to the merged vma, will overwrite\nthe newly uprobe pte in the merged vma, and lead that pte to be orphan.\n\nSince the uprobe pte will be remapped to the merged vma, we can remove the\nunnecessary uprobe_mmap upon merged vma.\n\nThis problem was first found in linux-6.6.y and also exists in the\ncommunity syzkaller:\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/all/000000000000ada39605a5e71711@google.com/T/","state":0,"publishedAt":"2025-07-04T13:37:27.508+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-21T12:36:52.413+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"mm/vma.c\",\n                        \"mm/vma.h\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"2b144498350860b6ee9dc57ff27a93ad488de5dc\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"7030046a9b4de8199a3cbc3de20366d95dce2142\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"2b144498350860b6ee9dc57ff27a93ad488de5dc\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"58b83b9a9a929611a2a2e7d88f45cb0d786b7ee0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"2b144498350860b6ee9dc57ff27a93ad488de5dc\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"2b12d06c37fd3a394376f42f026a7478d826ed63\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"mm/vma.c\",\n                        \"mm/vma.h\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"3.5\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"3.5\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"6.12.114\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"6.15.4\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.15.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"6.16\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7030046a9b4de8199a3cbc3de20366d95dce2142","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/58b83b9a9a929611a2a2e7d88f45cb0d786b7ee0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b12d06c37fd3a394376f42f026a7478d826ed63"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-38207","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2025-38207","identifiers":["CVE-2025-38207"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
