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-2025-38298 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-2025-38298/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38298/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38298","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38298/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38298","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-38298","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38298","GHSA-x5j4-cx5q-8rjr","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38298","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38298","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38298","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38298","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38298"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel EDAC driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger a general protection fault and system crash by reloading the i10nm_edac kernel module, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nEDAC/skx_common: Fix general protection fault\n\nAfter loading i10nm_edac (which automatically loads skx_edac_common), if\nunload only i10nm_edac, then reload it and perform error injection testing,\na general protection fault may occur:\n\n  mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged\n  Oops: general protection fault ...\n  ...\n  Workqueue: events mce_gen_pool_process\n  RIP: 0010:string+0x53/0xe0\n  ...\n  Call Trace:\n  \u003cTASK\u003e\n  ? die_addr+0x37/0x90\n  ? exc_general_protection+0x1e7/0x3f0\n  ? asm_exc_general_protection+0x26/0x30\n  ? string+0x53/0xe0\n  vsnprintf+0x23e/0x4c0\n  snprintf+0x4d/0x70\n  skx_adxl_decode+0x16a/0x330 [skx_edac_common]\n  skx_mce_check_error.part.0+0xf8/0x220 [skx_edac_common]\n  skx_mce_check_error+0x17/0x20 [skx_edac_common]\n  ...\n\nThe issue arose was because the variable 'adxl_component_count' (inside\nskx_edac_common), which counts the ADXL components, was not reset.
