It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-21649 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21649/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21649/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21649","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21649/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21649","record":{"aliases":["AZL-56133","AZL-56154","BELL-CVE-2025-21649","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21649","GHSA-67xw-5wfx-qcmc","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-21649","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-21649","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21649"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the hns3 network driver causes a kernel crash when sending 1588 packets on HIP08 devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: hns3: fix kernel crash when 1588 is sent on HIP08 devices\n\nCurrently, HIP08 devices does not register the ptp devices, so the\nhdev-\u003eptp is NULL.
