🛡️ CVE-2025-62626 on Ubuntu — amd64-microcode
Description
Improper handling of insufficient entropy in the AMD CPUs could allow a local attacker to influence the values returned by the RDSEED instruction, potentially resulting in the consumption of insufficiently random values.
Distribution advisory
This page covers CVE-2025-62626 as tracked by Ubuntu, for the package amd64-microcode. The fix is available in version 3.20251202.1ubuntu1; earlier versions remain affected.
How this vulnerability can be exploited
This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability none.
CVSS metrics in full
The score comes from this vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
- Attack vector: Local — a local account, shell or session on the host is needed.
- Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
- Attack requirements: Present — the target has to be in a particular state for the attack to work.
- Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
- User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
- Confidentiality impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
- Integrity impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
- Availability impact: None.
Weakness class
UBUNTU-CVE-2025-62626 is classified as CWE-333: Improper Handling of Insufficient Entropy in TRNG. True random number generators (TRNG) generally have a limited source of entropy and therefore can fail or block.
