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-2025-37944 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-2025-37944/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37944/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-37944","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37944/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-37944","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-37944","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-37944","GHSA-ggqf-4xj6-jcvr","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-37944","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-37944","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-37944"],"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 WiFi driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A bug in the ath12k WiFi driver causes invalid memory access, potentially leading to system crashes or code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: ath12k: Fix invalid entry fetch in ath12k_dp_mon_srng_process\n\nCurrently, ath12k_dp_mon_srng_process uses ath12k_hal_srng_src_get_next_entry\nto fetch the next entry from the destination ring. This is incorrect because\nath12k_hal_srng_src_get_next_entry is intended for source rings, not destination\nrings. This leads to invalid entry fetches, causing potential data corruption or\ncrashes due to accessing incorrect memory locations. This happens because the\nsource ring and destination ring have different handling mechanisms and using\nthe wrong function results in incorrect pointer arithmetic and ring management.\n\nTo fix this issue, replace the call to ath12k_hal_srng_src_get_next_entry with\nath12k_hal_srng_dst_get_next_entry in ath12k_dp_mon_srng_process. This ensures\nthat the correct function is used for fetching entries from the destination\nring, preventing invalid memory accesses.\n\nTested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00173-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1\nTested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3","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":"wifi: ath12k: Fix invalid entry fetch in ath12k_dp_mon_srng_process","id":"CVE-2025-37944","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"net: phy: allow MDIO bus PM ops to start/stop state machine for phylink-controlled PHY","id":"CVE-2025-37945"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"wifi: ath12k: Fix invalid data access in ath12k_dp_rx_h_undecap_nwifi","id":"CVE-2025-37943"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-05-20","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A bug in the ath12k WiFi driver causes invalid memory access, potentially leading to system crashes or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37944/"}
