Summary
CVE-2025-37879 affecting package kernel 5.15.200.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

9p/net: fix improper handling of bogus negative read/write replies

In p9clientwrite() and p9clientread_once(), if the server incorrectly replies with success but a negative write/read count then we would consider written (negative) <= rsize (positive) because both variables were signed.

Make variables unsigned to avoid this problem.

The reproducer linked below now fails with the following error instead of a null pointer deref: 9pnet: bogus RWRITE count (4294967295 > 3)
