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-2025-38540 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-2025-38540/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38540/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38540","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38540/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38540","record":{"aliases":["AZL-66341","AZL-75090","BELL-CVE-2025-38540","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38540","GHSA-459r-g93g-c5wc","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38540","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38540","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-38540","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38540","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38540"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel HID driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A Linux kernel HID driver flaw causes system hangs when accessing non-functional sensors on specific HP cameras, requiring a patch to prevent denial of service.","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":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\nHID: quirks: Add quirk for 2 Chicony Electronics HP 5MP Cameras\n\nThe Chicony Electronics HP 5MP Cameras (USB ID 04F2:B824 \u0026 04F2:B82C)\nreport a HID sensor interface that is not actually implemented.\nAttempting to access this non-functional sensor via iio_info causes\nsystem hangs as runtime PM tries to wake up an unresponsive sensor.\n\nAdd these 2 devices to the HID ignore list since the sensor interface is\nnon-functional by design and should not be exposed to userspace.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"HID: quirks: Add quirk for 2 Chicony Electronics HP 5MP Cameras","id":"CVE-2025-38540","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":8,"next":{"headline":"wifi: mt76: mt7925: Fix null-ptr-deref in mt7925_thermal_init()","id":"CVE-2025-38541"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"tracing: Add down_write(trace_event_sem) when adding trace event","id":"CVE-2025-38539"},"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A Linux kernel HID driver flaw causes system hangs when accessing non-functional sensors on specific HP cameras, requiring a patch to prevent denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38540/"}
