CVE-2025-22012: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "arm64: dts: qcom: sdm845: Affirm IDR0.CCTW
Summary
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel for ARM64 Qualcomm SDM845 processors was caused by a previous change that enabled pagetable walker cache coherency (a feature that keeps memory caches synchronized during page table operations). However, this feature doesn't work reliably across all SDM845/850 devices, causing some systems like the Lenovo Yoga C630 to lock up or crash. The fix reverts the problematic change to prevent these crashes.
Solution / Mitigation
Revert commit 6b31a9744b8726c69bb0af290f8475a368a4b805 by removing the change that affirmed IDR0.CCTW on apps_smmu in the Linux kernel's arm64 device tree configuration for Qualcomm SDM845.
