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-2025-38592 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-2025-38592/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38592/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38592","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38592/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38592","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-38592","GHSA-3qph-5xxf-77fc","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38592"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel Bluetooth","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel Bluetooth driver allows attackers to cause a system crash via out-of-bounds memory access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBluetooth: hci_devcd_dump: fix out-of-bounds via dev_coredumpv\n\nCurrently both dev_coredumpv and skb_put_data in hci_devcd_dump use\nhdev-\u003edump.head. However, dev_coredumpv can free the buffer. From\ndev_coredumpm_timeout documentation, which is used by dev_coredumpv:\n\n    \u003e Creates a new device coredump for the given device. If a previous one hasn't\n    \u003e been read yet, the new coredump is discarded.
