What to do

AI-suggested

A fix is available that adds the missing GPIO_NO_WAKE_IRQ check in the irq-qcom-mpm driver to properly exclude non-wake GPIOs from the MPM IRQ domain hierarchy, preventing crashes. Users should apply the official Linux kernel update that includes this patch. Since this is a kernel-level issue, upgrading to a fixed kernel version is the recommended mitigation.

Description

CVE-2025-37901 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's irqchip/qcom-mpm driver affecting Qualcomm chipsets. It causes a kernel crash when handling interrupts for non-wake GPIOs, which lack corresponding MPM pins and should not be managed by the MPM driver. The issue arises because irq-qcom-mpm is missing a check for GPIO_NO_WAKE_IRQ, leading to improper IRQ domain hierarchy handling and kernel paging faults. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.5 (medium severity) and impacts system availability due to crashes.
