Dear Kernel Developers,

Hereby we attach patch backported from kernel 6.13 (as proposed by Greg k-h on the full disclosure mailing list) to 6.12 for CVE-2025-21751 vulnerability.

This patch was tested on metal and virtual machines and rolled out in production.

I hope patch is sufficient for cherry-pick. Please let us know if something has to be updated/modified.

What is the git id of this in Linus's tree? And why not use your correct name in the signed-off-by area and provide the full changelog?

thanks,

greg k-h
