An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-38526 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-2025-38526/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38526/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38526","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38526/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38526","record":{"aliases":["AZL-66347","BELL-CVE-2025-38526","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38526","GHSA-f2wc-6g38-9vmc","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-38526","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38526","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38526"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing NULL check in the Linux kernel ice driver can cause a crash when handling LAG events, leading to denial of service.","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":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-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nice: add NULL check in eswitch lag check\n\nThe function ice_lag_is_switchdev_running() is being called from outside of\nthe LAG event handler code.
