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-2025-21894 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-2025-21894/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21894/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21894","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21894/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21894","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-21894","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21894","GHSA-m7gq-vr78-836g","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-21894","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-21894","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-21894","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-21894","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21894"],"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 ENETC network driver causes a kernel crash when VFs attempt one-step timestamping, leading to denial of service.","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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: enetc: VFs do not support HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC\n\nActually ENETC VFs do not support HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC because only\nENETC PF can access PMa_SINGLE_STEP registers.
