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-2025-38260 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-2025-38260/ (Markdown:

go \"ro,rescue=ibadroots\" mount option.\n\nNormally with that mount option, a bad csum tree root should set\nBTRFS_FS_STATE_NO_DATA_CSUMS flag, so that any future data read will\nignore csum search.\n\nBut in this particular case, we have the following call trace that\ncaused NULL csum root, but not setting BTRFS_FS_STATE_NO_DATA_CSUMS:\n\nload_global_roots_objectid():\n\n\t\tret = btrfs_search_slot();\n\t\t/* Succeeded */\n\t\tbtrfs_item_key_to_cpu()\n\t\tfound = true;\n\t\t/* We found the root item for csum tree. */\n\t\troot = read_tree_root_path();\n\t\tif (IS_ERR(root)) {\n\t\t\tif (!btrfs_test_opt(fs_info, IGNOREBADROOTS))\n\t\t\t/*\n\t\t\t * Since we have rescue=ibadroots mount option,\n\t\t\t * @ret is still 0.\n\t\t\t */\n\t\t\tbreak;\n\tif (!found || ret) {\n\t\t/* @found is true, @ret is 0, error handling for csum\n\t\t * tree is skipped.\n\t\t */\n\t}\n\nThis means we completely skipped to set BTRFS_FS_STATE_NO_DATA_CSUMS if\nthe csum tree is corrupted, which results unexpected later csum lookup.\n\n[FIX]\nIf read_tree_root_path() failed, always populate @ret to the error\nnumber.\n\nAs at the end of the function, we need @ret to determine if we need to\ndo the extra error handling for csum tree.","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":"btrfs: handle
