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-2025-38022 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-2025-38022/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38022/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38022","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38022/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38022","record":{"aliases":["AZL-63947","AZL-70271","BELL-CVE-2025-38022","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38022","GHSA-m3m6-56v9-2jm6","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38022","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38022","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38022","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38022","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38022"],"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 RDMA","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel RDMA core allows local attackers to cause a system crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.","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":"cna","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\nRDMA/core: Fix \"KASAN: slab-use-after-free Read in ib_register_device\" problem\n\nCall Trace:\n\n __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:94 [inline]\n dump_stack_lvl+0x116/0x1f0 lib/dump_stack.c:120\n print_address_description mm/kasan/report.c:408 [inline]\n print_report+0xc3/0x670 mm/kasan/report.c:521\n kasan_report+0xe0/0x110 mm/kasan/report.c:634\n strlen+0x93/0xa0 lib/string.c:420\n __fortify_strlen include/linux/fortify-string.h:268 [inline]\n get_kobj_path_length lib/kobject.c:118 [inline]\n kobject_get_path+0x3f/0x2a0 lib/kobject.c:158\n kobject_uevent_env+0x289/0x1870 lib/kobject_uevent.c:545\n ib_register_device drivers/infiniband/core/device.c:1472 [inline]\n ib_register_device+0x8cf/0xe00 drivers/infiniband/core/device.c:1393\n rxe_register_device+0x275/0x320 drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_verbs.c:1552\n rxe_net_add+0x8e/0xe0 drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_net.c:550\n rxe_newlink+0x70/0x190 drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe.c:225\n nldev_newlink+0x3a3/0x680 drivers/infiniband/core/nldev.c:1796\n rdma_nl_rcv_msg+0x387/0x6e0 drivers/infiniband/core/netlink.c:195\n rdma_nl_rcv_skb.constprop.0.isra.0+0x2e5/0x450\n netlink_unicast_kernel net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1313 [inline]\n netlink_unicast+0x53a/0x7f0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1339\n netlink_sendmsg+0x8d1/0xdd0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1883\n sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:712 [inline]\n __sock_sendmsg net/socket.c:727 [inline]\n ____sys_sendmsg+0xa95/0xc70 net/socket.c:2566\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x134/0x1d0 net/socket.c:2620\n __sys_sendmsg+0x16d/0x220 net/socket.c:2652\n do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline]\n do_syscall_64+0xcd/0x260 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\nThis problem is similar to the problem that the\ncommit 1d6a9e7449e2 (\"RDMA/core: Fix use-after-free when rename device name\")\nfixes.\n\nThe root cause is: the function ib_device_rename() renames the name with\nlock.
