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-2025-37796 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-2025-37796/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37796/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-37796","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37796/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-37796","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-37796","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-37796","GHSA-7c48-pxh3-297c","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-37796","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-37796","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-37796","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-37796"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's at76c50x WiFi driver allows attackers to potentially execute code or cause a denial of service.","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":"nvd","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\nwifi: at76c50x: fix use after free access in at76_disconnect\n\nThe memory pointed to by priv is freed at the end of at76_delete_device\nfunction (using ieee80211_free_hw).
