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-2025-37966 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-2025-37966/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37966/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-37966","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37966/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-37966","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-37966","GHSA-w7gq-mpq5-98vw","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-37966","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-37966"],"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 local user can crash the Linux kernel on RISC-V systems by invoking PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL when the Supm extension is unavailable.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nriscv: Fix kernel crash due to PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL\n\nWhen userspace does PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL, but Supm extension is not\navailable, the kernel crashes:\n\nOops - illegal instruction [#1]\n    [snip]\nepc : set_tagged_addr_ctrl+0x112/0x15a\n ra : set_tagged_addr_ctrl+0x74/0x15a\nepc : ffffffff80011ace ra : ffffffff80011a30 sp : ffffffc60039be10\n    [snip]\nstatus: 0000000200000120 badaddr: 0000000010a79073 cause: 0000000000000002\n    set_tagged_addr_ctrl+0x112/0x15a\n    __riscv_sys_prctl+0x352/0x73c\n    do_trap_ecall_u+0x17c/0x20c\n    andle_exception+0x150/0x15c\n\nFix it by checking if Supm is available.","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":"riscv: Fix kernel crash due to PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL","id":"CVE-2025-37966","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"usb: typec: ucsi: displayport: Fix deadlock","id":"CVE-2025-37967"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/amd/display: Fix invalid context error in dml helper","id":"CVE-2025-37965"},"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A local user can crash the Linux kernel on RISC-V systems by invoking PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL when the Supm extension is unavailable.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37966/"}
