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-2025-38601 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-2025-38601/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38601/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38601","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38601/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38601","record":{"aliases":["AZL-66506","BELL-CVE-2025-38601","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38601","GHSA-pcv5-jjwm-3j29","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38601","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38601","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-38601","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38601","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38601","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38601"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing flag reset in the ath11k WiFi driver causes kernel panics during resume after firmware crashes, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"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-909","name":"Missing Initialization of Resource"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: ath11k: clear initialized flag for deinit-ed srng lists\n\nIn a number of cases we see kernel panics on resume due\nto ath11k kernel page fault, which happens under the\nfollowing circumstances:\n\n1) First ath11k_hal_dump_srng_stats() call\n\n Last interrupt received for each group:\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 0 22511ms before\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 1 14440788ms before\n [..]\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to receive control response completion, polling..\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Service connect timeout\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to connect to HTT: -110\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to start core: -110\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: firmware crashed: MHI_CB_EE_RDDM\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: already resetting count 2\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to wait wlan mode request (mode 4): -110\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: qmi failed to send wlan mode off: -110\n ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to reconfigure driver on crash recovery\n [..]\n\n2) At this point reconfiguration fails (we have 2 resets) and\n  ath11k_core_reconfigure_on_crash() calls ath11k_hal_srng_deinit()\n  which destroys srng lists.
