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-2025-38074 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-2025-38074/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38074/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38074","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38074/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38074","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-38074","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38074","GHSA-7p5h-9pp6-5wqc","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38074","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38074","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38074","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38074","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38074"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel vhost-scsi driver allows invalid memory writes, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvhost-scsi: protect vq-\u003elog_used with vq-\u003emutex\n\nThe vhost-scsi completion path may access vq-\u003elog_base when vq-\u003elog_used is\nalready set to false.\n\n    vhost-thread                       QEMU-thread\n\nvhost_scsi_complete_cmd_work()\n-\u003e vhost_add_used()\n   -\u003e vhost_add_used_n()\n      if (unlikely(vq-\u003elog_used))\n                                      QEMU disables vq-\u003elog_used\n                                      via VHOST_SET_VRING_ADDR.\n                                      mutex_lock(\u0026vq-\u003emutex);\n                                      vq-\u003elog_used = false now!\n                                      mutex_unlock(\u0026vq-\u003emutex);\n\n\t\t\t\t      QEMU gfree(vq-\u003elog_base)\n        log_used()\n        -\u003e log_write(vq-\u003elog_base)\n\nAssuming the VMM is QEMU.
