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-2025-37859 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-2025-37859/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37859/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-37859","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37859/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-37859","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-37859","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-37859","GHSA-74cg-cw39-rj4g","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-37859","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-37859","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-37859","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-37859"],"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 bug in the Linux kernel page_pool causes an infinite loop and log flooding, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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-835","name":"Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\npage_pool: avoid infinite loop to schedule delayed worker\n\nWe noticed the kworker in page_pool_release_retry() was waken\nup repeatedly and infinitely in production because of the\nbuggy driver causing the inflight less than 0 and warning\nus in page_pool_inflight()[1].\n\nSince the inflight value goes negative, it means we should\nnot expect the whole page_pool to get back to work normally.\n\nThis patch mitigates the adverse effect by not rescheduling\nthe kworker when detecting the inflight negative in\npage_pool_release_retry().\n\n[1]\n[Mon Feb 10 20:36:11 2025] ------------[ cut here ]------------\n[Mon Feb 10 20:36:11 2025] Negative(-51446) inflight packet-pages\n...\n[Mon Feb 10 20:36:11 2025] Call Trace:\n[Mon Feb 10 20:36:11 2025]  page_pool_release_retry+0x23/0x70\n[Mon Feb 10 20:36:11 2025]  process_one_work+0x1b1/0x370\n[Mon Feb 10 20:36:11 2025]  worker_thread+0x37/0x3a0\n[Mon Feb 10 20:36:11 2025]  kthread+0x11a/0x140\n[Mon Feb 10 20:36:11 2025]  ?
