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-2025-38355 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-2025-38355/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38355/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38355","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38355/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38355","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-38355","CLSA-2026-1775176186","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38355","GHSA-8x8p-vfxm-77vf","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38355"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel's Xe GPU driver causes a null pointer dereference during device unwind, leading to a system crash.","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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/xe: Process deferred GGTT node removals on device unwind\n\nWhile we are indirectly draining our dedicated workqueue ggtt-\u003ewq\nthat we use to complete asynchronous removal of some GGTT nodes,\nthis happends as part of the managed-drm unwinding (ggtt_fini_early),\nwhich could be later then manage-device unwinding, where we could\nalready unmap our MMIO/GMS mapping (mmio_fini).\n\nThis was recently observed during unsuccessful VF initialization:\n\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: probe with driver xe failed with error -62\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747340 __xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm (16 bytes)\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747540 __xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm (16 bytes)\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747240 __xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm (16 bytes)\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747040 tiles_fini (16 bytes)\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e746840 mmio_fini (16 bytes)\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747f40 xe_bo_pinned_fini (16 bytes)\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e746b40 devm_drm_dev_init_release (16 bytes)\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] drmres release begin\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] REL ffff88810ef81640 __fini_relay (8 bytes)\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] REL ffff88810ef80d40 guc_ct_fini (8 bytes)\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] REL ffff88810ef80040 __drmm_mutex_release (8 bytes)\n [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] REL ffff88810ef80140 ggtt_fini_early (8 bytes)\n\nand this was leading to:\n\n [ ] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc900058162a0\n [ ] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode\n [ ] #PF: error_code(0x0002) -
