An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-38501 exists.\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-2025-38501/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38501/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38501","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38501/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38501","record":{"aliases":["AZL-66416","BELL-CVE-2025-38501","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38501","GHSA-54w6-m43p-jffg","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38501","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-38501","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38501","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38501","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38501"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel ksmbd","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exhaust ksmbd connection limits via repeated connections from a single IP, causing denial of service for legitimate users.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nksmbd: limit repeated connections from clients with the same IP\n\nRepeated connections from clients with the same IP address may exhaust\nthe max connections and prevent other normal client connections.\nThis patch limit repeated connections from clients with the same IP.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-09-15","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":4,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-09-15T08:26:20Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/keymaker-arch/KSMBDrain","stars":4,"title":"CVE-2025-38501, KSMBDrain"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"ksmbd: limit repeated connections from clients with the same IP","id":"CVE-2025-38501","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"bpf: Fix oob access in cgroup local storage","id":"CVE-2025-38502"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"xfrm: interface: fix use-after-free after changing collect_md xfrm interface","id":"CVE-2025-38500"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-08-16","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"Attackers can exhaust ksmbd connection limits via repeated connections from a single IP, causing denial of service for legitimate users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38501/"}
