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-2025-37916 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-2025-37916/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37916/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-37916","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37916/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-37916","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-37916","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-37916","GHSA-wj4h-929j-75c8","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-37916","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-37916"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"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 pds_core driver allows attackers to cause a system crash or potentially execute code during device 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":"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\npds_core: remove write-after-free of client_id\n\nA use-after-free error popped up in stress testing:\n\n[Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free write in pdsc_auxbus_dev_del+0xef/0x160 [pds_core]\n[Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] Use-after-free write at 0x000000007013ecd1 (in kfence-#47):\n[Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025]  pdsc_auxbus_dev_del+0xef/0x160 [pds_core]\n[Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025]  pdsc_remove+0xc0/0x1b0 [pds_core]\n[Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025]  pci_device_remove+0x24/0x70\n[Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025]  device_release_driver_internal+0x11f/0x180\n[Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025]  driver_detach+0x45/0x80\n[Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025]  bus_remove_driver+0x83/0xe0\n[Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025]  pci_unregister_driver+0x1a/0x80\n\nThe actual device uninit usually happens on a separate thread\nscheduled after this code runs, but there is no guarantee of order\nof thread execution, so this could be a problem.
