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-2025-37742 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-2025-37742/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37742/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-37742","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37742/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-37742","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-37742","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-37742","GHSA-69cq-v3pw-hrr3","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-37742","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-37742","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-37742","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-37742","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-37742"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel JFS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An uninitialized memory access in the Linux kernel JFS filesystem allows attackers to potentially disclose sensitive kernel memory contents.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"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-908","name":"Use of Uninitialized Resource"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\njfs: Fix uninit-value access of imap allocated in the diMount() function\n\nsyzbot reports that hex_dump_to_buffer is using uninit-value:\n\n=====================================================\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in hex_dump_to_buffer+0x888/0x1100 lib/hexdump.c:171\nhex_dump_to_buffer+0x888/0x1100 lib/hexdump.c:171\nprint_hex_dump+0x13d/0x3e0 lib/hexdump.c:276\ndiFree+0x5ba/0x4350 fs/jfs/jfs_imap.c:876\njfs_evict_inode+0x510/0x550 fs/jfs/inode.c:156\nevict+0x723/0xd10 fs/inode.c:796\niput_final fs/inode.c:1946 [inline]\niput+0x97b/0xdb0 fs/inode.c:1972\ntxUpdateMap+0xf3e/0x1150 fs/jfs/jfs_txnmgr.c:2367\ntxLazyCommit fs/jfs/jfs_txnmgr.c:2664 [inline]\njfs_lazycommit+0x627/0x11d0 fs/jfs/jfs_txnmgr.c:2733\nkthread+0x6b9/0xef0 kernel/kthread.c:464\nret_from_fork+0x6d/0x90 arch/x86/kernel/process.c:148\nret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:244\n\nUninit was created at:\nslab_post_alloc_hook mm/slub.c:4121 [inline]\nslab_alloc_node mm/slub.c:4164 [inline]\n__kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x8e3/0xdf0 mm/slub.c:4320\nkmalloc_noprof include/linux/slab.h:901 [inline]\ndiMount+0x61/0x7f0 fs/jfs/jfs_imap.c:105\njfs_mount+0xa8e/0x11d0 fs/jfs/jfs_mount.c:176\njfs_fill_super+0xa47/0x17c0 fs/jfs/super.c:523\nget_tree_bdev_flags+0x6ec/0x910 fs/super.c:1636\nget_tree_bdev+0x37/0x50 fs/super.c:1659\njfs_get_tree+0x34/0x40 fs/jfs/super.c:635\nvfs_get_tree+0xb1/0x5a0 fs/super.c:1814\ndo_new_mount+0x71f/0x15e0 fs/namespace.c:3560\npath_mount+0x742/0x1f10 fs/namespace.c:3887\ndo_mount fs/namespace.c:3900 [inline]\n__do_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:4111 [inline]\n__se_sys_mount+0x71f/0x800 fs/namespace.c:4088\n__x64_sys_mount+0xe4/0x150 fs/namespace.c:4088\nx64_sys_call+0x39bf/0x3c30 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:166\ndo_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline]\ndo_syscall_64+0xcd/0x1e0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83\nentry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n=====================================================\n\nThe reason is that imap is not properly initialized after memory\nallocation.
