perf/x86/intel: Fix KASAN global-out-of-bounds warning
When running "perf mem record" command on CWF, the below KASAN
global-out-of-bounds warning is seen.
==================================================================
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in cmt_latency_data+0x176/0x1b0
Read of size 4 at addr ffffffffb721d000 by task dtlb/9850
Call Trace:
kasan_report+0xb8/0xf0
cmt_latency_data+0x176/0x1b0
setup_arch_pebs_sample_data+0xf49/0x2560
intel_pmu_drain_arch_pebs+0x577/0xb00
handle_pmi_common+0x6c4/0xc80
The issue is caused by below code in __grt_latency_data(). The code
tries to access x86_hybrid_pmu structure which doesn't exist on
non-hybrid platform like CWF.
WARN_ON_ONCE(hybrid_pmu(event->pmu)->pmu_type == hybrid_big)
So add is_hybrid() check before calling this WARN_ON_ONCE to fix the
global-out-of-bounds access issue.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-40359? CVE-2025-40359 is a unknown-severity security vulnerability. No fixed version is listed yet.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-40359? No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-40359 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is CVE-2025-40359 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-40359 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2025-40359 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
