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-2025-21902 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-2025-21902/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21902/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21902","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21902/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21902","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-21902","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21902","GHSA-w69j-ppp7-83pp","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21902"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A bug in the Linux kernel UCSI driver causes a kernel warning and potential instability during USB Type-C initialization, requiring a patch to fix.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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\nacpi: typec: ucsi: Introduce a -\u003epoll_cci method\n\nFor the ACPI backend of UCSI the UCSI \"registers\" are just a memory copy\nof the register values in an opregion. The ACPI implementation in the\nBIOS ensures that the opregion contents are synced to the embedded\ncontroller and it ensures that the registers (in particular CCI) are\nsynced back to the opregion on notifications. While there is an ACPI call\nthat syncs the actual registers to the opregion there is rarely a need to\ndo this and on some ACPI implementations it actually breaks in various\ninteresting ways.\n\nThe only reason to force a sync from the embedded controller is to poll\nCCI while notifications are disabled. Only the ucsi core knows if this\nis the case and guessing based on the current command is suboptimal, i.e.\nleading to the following spurious assertion splat:\n\nWARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 76 at drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/ucsi.c:1388 ucsi_reset_ppm+0x1b4/0x1c0 [typec_ucsi]\nCPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 76 Comm: kworker/3:0 Not tainted 6.12.11-200.fc41.x86_64 #1\nHardware name: LENOVO 21D0/LNVNB161216, BIOS J6CN45WW 03/17/2023\nWorkqueue: events_long ucsi_init_work [typec_ucsi]\nRIP: 0010:ucsi_reset_ppm+0x1b4/0x1c0 [typec_ucsi]\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n ucsi_init_work+0x3c/0xac0 [typec_ucsi]\n process_one_work+0x179/0x330\n worker_thread+0x252/0x390\n kthread+0xd2/0x100\n ret_from_fork+0x34/0x50\n ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n \u003c/TASK\u003e\n\nThus introduce a -\u003epoll_cci() method that works like -\u003eread_cci() with an\nadditional forced sync and document that this should be used when polling\nwith notifications disabled.
