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-2025-38293 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-2025-38293/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38293/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38293","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38293/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38293","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-38293","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38293","GHSA-x3qq-xqjx-f5p7","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38293","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38293","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38293","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38293","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38293"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the ath11k WiFi driver causes kernel panic during WLAN recovery, leading to denial of service.","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:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: ath11k: fix node corruption in ar-\u003earvifs list\n\nIn current WLAN recovery code flow, ath11k_core_halt() only\nreinitializes the \"arvifs\" list head. This will cause the\nlist node immediately following the list head to become an\ninvalid list node. Because the prev of that node still points\nto the list head \"arvifs\", but the next of the list head \"arvifs\"\nno longer points to that list node.\n\nWhen a WLAN recovery occurs during the execution of a vif\nremoval, and it happens before the spin_lock_bh(\u0026ar-\u003edata_lock)\nin ath11k_mac_op_remove_interface(), list_del() will detect the\npreviously mentioned situation, thereby triggering a kernel panic.\n\nThe fix is to remove and reinitialize all vif list nodes from the\nlist head \"arvifs\" during WLAN halt.
