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-2025-23163 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2025-23163/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23163/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-23163","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23163/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-23163","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-23163","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-23163","GHSA-pj73-39g5-xmf7","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-23163","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-23163","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-23163","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-23163"],"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 deadlock in the Linux kernel VLAN subsystem can cause a system hang when opening network devices, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"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-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: vlan: don't propagate flags on open\n\nWith the device instance lock, there is now a possibility of a deadlock:\n\n[    1.211455] ============================================\n[    1.211571] WARNING: possible recursive locking detected\n[    1.211687] 6.14.0-rc5-01215-g032756b4ca7a-dirty #5 Not tainted\n[    1.211823] --------------------------------------------\n[    1.211936] ip/184 is trying to acquire lock:\n[    1.212032] ffff8881024a4c30 (\u0026dev-\u003elock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: dev_set_allmulti+0x4e/0xb0\n[    1.212207]\n[    1.212207] but task is already holding lock:\n[    1.212332] ffff8881024a4c30 (\u0026dev-\u003elock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: dev_open+0x50/0xb0\n[    1.212487]\n[    1.212487] other info that might help us debug this:\n[    1.212626]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:\n[    1.212626]\n[    1.212751]        CPU0\n[    1.212815]        ----\n[    1.212871]   lock(\u0026dev-\u003elock);\n[    1.212944]   lock(\u0026dev-\u003elock);\n[    1.213016]\n[    1.213016]  *** DEADLOCK ***\n[    1.213016]\n[    1.213143]  May be due to missing lock nesting notation\n[    1.213143]\n[    1.213294] 3 locks held by ip/184:\n[    1.213371]  #0: ffffffff838b53e0 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: rtnl_nets_lock+0x1b/0xa0\n[    1.213543]  #1: ffffffff84e5fc70 (\u0026net-\u003ertnl_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: rtnl_nets_lock+0x37/0xa0\n[    1.213727]  #2: ffff8881024a4c30 (\u0026dev-\u003elock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: dev_open+0x50/0xb0\n[    1.213895]\n[    1.213895] stack backtrace:\n[    1.213991] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 184 Comm: ip Not tainted 6.14.0-rc5-01215-g032756b4ca7a-dirty #5\n[    1.213993] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Arch Linux 1.16.3-1-1 04/01/2014\n[    1.213994] Call Trace:\n[    1.213995]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[    1.213996]  dump_stack_lvl+0x8e/0xd0\n[    1.214000]  print_deadlock_bug+0x28b/0x2a0\n[    1.214020]  lock_acquire+0xea/0x2a0\n[    1.214027]  __mutex_lock+0xbf/0xd40\n[    1.214038]  dev_set_allmulti+0x4e/0xb0 # real_dev-\u003eflags \u0026 IFF_ALLMULTI\n[    1.214040]  vlan_dev_open+0xa5/0x170 # ndo_open on vlandev\n[    1.214042]  __dev_open+0x145/0x270\n[    1.214046]  __dev_change_flags+0xb0/0x1e0\n[    1.214051]  netif_change_flags+0x22/0x60 # IFF_UP vlandev\n[    1.214053]  dev_change_flags+0x61/0xb0 # for each device in group from dev-\u003evlan_info\n[    1.214055]  vlan_device_event+0x766/0x7c0 # on netdevsim0\n[    1.214058]  notifier_call_chain+0x78/0x120\n[    1.214062]  netif_open+0x6d/0x90\n[    1.214064]  dev_open+0x5b/0xb0 # locks netdevsim0\n[    1.214066]  bond_enslave+0x64c/0x1230\n[    1.214075]  do_set_master+0x175/0x1e0 # on netdevsim0\n[    1.214077]  do_setlink+0x516/0x13b0\n[    1.214094]  rtnl_newlink+0xaba/0xb80\n[    1.214132]  rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x440/0x490\n[    1.214144]  netlink_rcv_skb+0xeb/0x120\n[    1.214150]  netlink_unicast+0x1f9/0x320\n[    1.214153]  netlink_sendmsg+0x346/0x3f0\n[    1.214157]  __sock_sendmsg+0x86/0xb0\n[    1.214160]  ____sys_sendmsg+0x1c8/0x220\n[    1.214164]  ___sys_sendmsg+0x28f/0x2d0\n[    1.214179]  __x64_sys_sendmsg+0xef/0x140\n[    1.214184]  do_syscall_64+0xec/0x1d0\n[    1.214190]  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n[    1.214191] RIP: 0033:0x7f2d1b4a7e56\n\nDevice setup:\n\n     netdevsim0 (down)\n     ^        ^\n  bond        netdevsim1.100@netdevsim1 allmulticast=on (down)\n\nWhen we enslave the lower device (netdevsim0) which has a vlan, we\npropagate vlan's allmuti/promisc flags during ndo_open.
