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-2025-37940 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-2025-37940/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37940/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-37940","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37940/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-37940","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-37940","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-37940","GHSA-69hw-3r8x-9jf6","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-37940","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-37940","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-37940","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-37940"],"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 missing scheduling call in the Linux kernel ftrace subsystem can cause softlockups and system unresponsiveness when tracing many functions.","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-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nftrace: Add cond_resched() to ftrace_graph_set_hash()\n\nWhen the kernel contains a large number of functions that can be traced,\nthe loop in ftrace_graph_set_hash() may take a lot of time to execute.\nThis may trigger the softlockup watchdog.\n\nAdd cond_resched() within the loop to allow the kernel to remain\nresponsive even when processing a large number of functions.\n\nThis matches the cond_resched() that is used in other locations of the\ncode that iterates over all functions that can be traced.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"ftrace: Add cond_resched() to ftrace_graph_set_hash()","id":"CVE-2025-37940","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"ASoC: codecs: wcd937x: fix a potential memory leak in wcd937x_soc_codec_probe()","id":"CVE-2025-37941"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"libbpf: Fix accessing BTF.ext core_relo header","id":"CVE-2025-37939"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-05-20","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A missing scheduling call in the Linux kernel ftrace subsystem can cause softlockups and system unresponsiveness when tracing many functions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37940/"}
