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-2025-21929 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-2025-21929/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21929/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21929","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21929/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21929","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-21929","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21929","GHSA-r89f-5fp9-fmg7","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-21929","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21929"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Intel ISHTP HID driver allows local attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges during module removal.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nHID: intel-ish-hid: Fix use-after-free issue in hid_ishtp_cl_remove()\n\nDuring the `rmmod` operation for the `intel_ishtp_hid` driver, a\nuse-after-free issue can occur in the hid_ishtp_cl_remove() function.\nThe function hid_ishtp_cl_deinit() is called before ishtp_hid_remove(),\nwhich can lead to accessing freed memory or resources during the\nremoval process.\n\nCall Trace:\n ? ishtp_cl_send+0x168/0x220 [intel_ishtp]\n ? hid_output_report+0xe3/0x150 [hid]\n hid_ishtp_set_feature+0xb5/0x120 [intel_ishtp_hid]\n ishtp_hid_request+0x7b/0xb0 [intel_ishtp_hid]\n hid_hw_request+0x1f/0x40 [hid]\n sensor_hub_set_feature+0x11f/0x190 [hid_sensor_hub]\n _hid_sensor_power_state+0x147/0x1e0 [hid_sensor_trigger]\n hid_sensor_runtime_resume+0x22/0x30 [hid_sensor_trigger]\n sensor_hub_remove+0xa8/0xe0 [hid_sensor_hub]\n hid_device_remove+0x49/0xb0 [hid]\n hid_destroy_device+0x6f/0x90 [hid]\n ishtp_hid_remove+0x42/0x70 [intel_ishtp_hid]\n hid_ishtp_cl_remove+0x6b/0xb0 [intel_ishtp_hid]\n ishtp_cl_device_remove+0x4a/0x60 [intel_ishtp]\n ...\n\nAdditionally, ishtp_hid_remove() is a HID level power off, which should\noccur before the ISHTP level disconnect.\n\nThis patch resolves the issue by reordering the calls in\nhid_ishtp_cl_remove().
