CVE-2025-6573
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows kernel software running in an untrusted execution environment to leak sensitive information from the trusted execution environment (TEE). It affects systems using Imagination Technologies GPU drivers with TEE implementations. The high CVSS score indicates critical impact potential.
💻 Affected Systems
- Imagination Technologies GPU drivers with TEE implementations
⚠️ Manual Verification Required
This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.
Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

- Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
- Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
- Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of TEE-protected data including cryptographic keys, biometric data, DRM content, and secure payment information, leading to total system compromise.
Likely Case
Leakage of sensitive TEE-protected information such as encryption keys or authentication tokens, enabling further system exploitation.
If Mitigated
Limited information leakage if proper TEE isolation and access controls are implemented, but still potentially exposing some protected data.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires kernel-level access in REE; no public exploit details available yet.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check Imagination Technologies security advisory for specific patched versions
Vendor Advisory: https://www.imaginationtech.com/gpu-driver-vulnerabilities/
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Check Imagination Technologies security advisory for affected versions. 2. Obtain updated GPU drivers from device manufacturer or Imagination. 3. Apply driver updates following vendor instructions. 4. Reboot system to activate new drivers.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable TEE functionality
linuxTemporarily disable Trusted Execution Environment features if not required
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tee/enable
Restrict kernel module loading
linuxPrevent unauthorized kernel modules from loading
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/modules_disabled
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate affected systems from untrusted networks and limit user access
- Implement strict monitoring for unusual TEE access patterns and kernel activities
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check GPU driver version and compare against Imagination's advisory; examine dmesg for TEE-related errorsCheck Version:
dmesg | grep -i imagination || cat /proc/versionVerify Fix Applied:
Verify updated GPU driver version is installed; test TEE functionality remains operational📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual TEE access patterns in kernel logs
- GPU driver crash or abnormal behavior logs
- Unexpected kernel module loading
Network Indicators:
- Unusual outbound connections from kernel processes
- Suspicious inter-process communication patterns
SIEM Query:
source="kernel" AND ("TEE" OR "imagination" OR "GPU") AND (error OR warning OR abnormal)
