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-2025-21916 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-2025-21916/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21916/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21916","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21916/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21916","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-21916","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21916","GHSA-q6h7-hvhw-m2p9","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-21916","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21916"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A flaw in the cxacru USB ATM driver allows a malicious device to trigger a kernel warning and potential denial of service via improper endpoint validation.","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\nusb: atm: cxacru: fix a flaw in existing endpoint checks\n\nSyzbot once again identified a flaw in usb endpoint checking, see [1].\nThis time the issue stems from a commit authored by me (2eabb655a968\n(\"usb: atm: cxacru: fix endpoint checking in cxacru_bind()\")).\n\nWhile using usb_find_common_endpoints() may usually be enough to\ndiscard devices with wrong endpoints, in this case one needs more\nthan just finding and identifying the sufficient number of endpoints\nof correct types -
