Affected: Linux

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

x86-64: rename misleadingly named '__copy_user_nocache()' function

This function was a masterclass in bad naming, for various historical reasons.

It claimed to be a non-cached user copy. It is literally _neither_ of those things. It's a specialty memory copy routine that uses non-temporal stores for the destination (but not the source), and that does exception handling for both source and destination accesses.

Also note that while it works for unaligned targets, any unaligned parts (whether at beginning or end) will not use non-temporal stores, since only words and quadwords can be non-temporal on x86.

The exception handling means that it _can_ be used for user space accesses, but not on its own - it needs all the normal "start user space access" logic around it.

But typically the user space access would be the source, not the non-temporal destination. That was the original intention of this, where the destination was some fragile persistent memory target that needed non-temporal stores in order to catch machine check exceptions synchronously and deal with them gracefully.

Thus that non-descriptive name: one use case was to copy from user space into a non-cached kernel buffer. However, the existing users are a mix of that intended use-case, and a couple of random drivers that just did this as a performance tweak.

Some of those random drivers then actively misused the user copying version (with ST…

It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly clear data in the floating point divider unit during speculative execution. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2025-54505)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
