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-2025-38344 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-2025-38344/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38344/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38344","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38344/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38344","record":{"aliases":["AZL-64968","BELL-CVE-2025-38344","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38344","GHSA-q25g-gf9c-x8q7","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38344","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38344","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38344","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38344","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38344"],"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 memory leak in the Linux kernel's ACPICA component can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service during ACPI initialization failures.","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":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-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nACPICA: fix acpi parse and parseext cache leaks\n\nACPICA commit 8829e70e1360c81e7a5a901b5d4f48330e021ea5\n\nI'm Seunghun Han, and I work for National Security Research Institute of\nSouth Korea.\n\nI have been doing a research on ACPI and found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI\nearly abort cases.\n\nBoot log of ACPI cache leak is as follows:\n[    0.352414] ACPI: Added _OSI(Module Device)\n[    0.353182] ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Device)\n[    0.353182] ACPI: Added _OSI(3.0 _SCP Extensions)\n[    0.353182] ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Aggregator Device)\n[    0.356028] ACPI: Unable to start the ACPI Interpreter\n[    0.356799] ACPI Error: Could not remove SCI handler (20170303/evmisc-281)\n[    0.360215] kmem_cache_destroy Acpi-State: Slab cache still has objects\n[    0.360648] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G        W\n4.12.0-rc4-next-20170608+ #10\n[    0.361273] Hardware name: innotek gmb_h virtual_box/virtual_box, BIOS\nvirtual_box 12/01/2006\n[    0.361873] Call Trace:\n[    0.362243]  ? dump_stack+0x5c/0x81\n[    0.362591]  ? kmem_cache_destroy+0x1aa/0x1c0\n[    0.362944]  ? acpi_sleep_proc_init+0x27/0x27\n[    0.363296]  ? acpi_os_delete_cache+0xa/0x10\n[    0.363646]  ? acpi_ut_delete_caches+0x6d/0x7b\n[    0.364000]  ? acpi_terminate+0xa/0x14\n[    0.364000]  ? acpi_init+0x2af/0x34f\n[    0.364000]  ? __class_create+0x4c/0x80\n[    0.364000]  ? video_setup+0x7f/0x7f\n[    0.364000]  ? acpi_sleep_proc_init+0x27/0x27\n[    0.364000]  ? do_one_initcall+0x4e/0x1a0\n[    0.364000]  ? kernel_init_freeable+0x189/0x20a\n[    0.364000]  ? rest_init+0xc0/0xc0\n[    0.364000]  ? kernel_init+0xa/0x100\n[    0.364000]  ? ret_from_fork+0x25/0x30\n\nI analyzed this memory leak in detail.
