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-2025-38277 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-2025-38277/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38277/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38277","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38277/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38277","record":{"aliases":["AZL-64973","BELL-CVE-2025-38277","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38277","GHSA-2q6w-3xvm-pchp","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38277","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38277","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38277"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NAND driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An uninitialized variable in the Linux kernel NAND ECC driver can cause kernel crashes or unpredictable behavior when specific edge cases occur.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"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-908","name":"Use of Uninitialized Resource"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmtd: nand: ecc-mxic: Fix use of uninitialized variable ret\n\nIf ctx-\u003esteps is zero, the loop processing ECC steps is skipped,\nand the variable ret remains uninitialized.
