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-2025-37961 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-2025-37961/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37961/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-37961","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37961/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-37961","record":{"aliases":["AZL-72575","BELL-CVE-2025-37961","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-37961","GHSA-9xjw-h43f-4f9m","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-37961","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-37961","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-37961","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-37961","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-37961"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel IPVS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An uninitialized value bug in the Linux kernel IPVS module can leak kernel memory or cause a denial of service during tunnel transmission.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"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-908","name":"Use of Uninitialized Resource"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nipvs: fix uninit-value for saddr in do_output_route4\n\nsyzbot reports for uninit-value for the saddr argument [1].\ncommit 4754957f04f5 (\"ipvs: do not use random local source address for\ntunnels\") already implies that the input value of saddr\nshould be ignored but the code is still reading it which can prevent\nto connect the route.
