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-2025-21750 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-2025-21750/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21750/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21750","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21750/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21750","record":{"aliases":["AZL-68976","BELL-CVE-2025-21750","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21750","GHSA-6m6q-fm24-h726","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-21750","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-21750","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-21750","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21750"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing return value check in the brcmfmac WiFi driver causes a kernel crash when a specific device tree property is missing.","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":"nvd","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\nwifi: brcmfmac: Check the return value of of_property_read_string_index()\n\nSomewhen between 6.10 and 6.11 the driver started to crash on my\nMacBookPro14,3.
