This\ncauses the warning in kunmap_local_indexed():\n\n  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 604 at mm/highmem.c:622 kunmap_local_indexed+0x178/0x17c\n  addr \\!= __fix_to_virt(FIX_KMAP_BEGIN + idx)\n\nFix this by reversing the unmap order to respect LIFO ordering.\n\nThis issue follows the same pattern as similar fixes:\n- commit eca6828403b8 (\"crypto: skcipher - fix mismatch between mapping and unmapping order\")\n- commit 8cf57c6df818 (\"nilfs2: eliminate staggered calls to kunmap in nilfs_rename\")\n\nBoth of which addressed the same fundamental requirement that kmap_local\noperations must follow LIFO ordering.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9614d8bee66387501f48718fa306e17f2aa3f2f3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b051f707018967ea8f697d790a1ed8c443f63812","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bd1ee62759d0bd4d6b909731c076c230ac89d61e"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-39899","score":0.00146,"percentile":0.03836,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
