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-2025-38265 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-2025-38265/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38265/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38265","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38265/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38265","record":{"aliases":["AZL-64904","BELL-CVE-2025-38265","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38265","GHSA-r57g-7w2j-cxmf","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38265","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38265"],"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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel jsm serial driver causes a system crash during device initialization, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nserial: jsm: fix NPE during jsm_uart_port_init\n\nNo device was set which caused serial_base_ctrl_add to crash.\n\n BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000050\n Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI\n CPU: 16 UID: 0 PID: 368 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 6.12.25-amd64 #1  Debian 6.12.25-1\n RIP: 0010:serial_base_ctrl_add+0x96/0x120\n Call Trace:\n  \u003cTASK\u003e\n  serial_core_register_port+0x1a0/0x580\n  ? __setup_irq+0x39c/0x660\n  ? __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x111/0x310\n  jsm_uart_port_init+0xe8/0x180 [jsm]\n  jsm_probe_one+0x1f4/0x410 [jsm]\n  local_pci_probe+0x42/0x90\n  pci_device_probe+0x22f/0x270\n  really_probe+0xdb/0x340\n  ? pm_runtime_barrier+0x54/0x90\n  ? __pfx___driver_attach+0x10/0x10\n  __driver_probe_device+0x78/0x110\n  driver_probe_device+0x1f/0xa0\n  __driver_attach+0xba/0x1c0\n  bus_for_each_dev+0x8c/0xe0\n  bus_add_driver+0x112/0x1f0\n  driver_register+0x72/0xd0\n  jsm_init_module+0x36/0xff0 [jsm]\n  ? __pfx_jsm_init_module+0x10/0x10 [jsm]\n  do_one_initcall+0x58/0x310\n  do_init_module+0x60/0x230\n\nTested with Digi Neo PCIe 8 port card.","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":"serial: jsm: fix NPE during jsm_uart_port_init","id":"CVE-2025-38265","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"pinctrl: mediatek: eint: Fix invalid pointer dereference for v1 platforms","id":"CVE-2025-38266"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"nvme-tcp: sanitize request list handling","id":"CVE-2025-38264"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-07-10","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel jsm serial driver causes a system crash during device initialization, leading to denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38265/"}
