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-2025-38650 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-2025-38650/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38650/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38650","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38650/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38650","record":{"aliases":["AZL-66620","BELL-CVE-2025-38650","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38650","GHSA-x465-6xx8-6h3c","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38650","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38650","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-38650","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38650","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38650","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38650"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel HFS+ filesystem triggers a warning during concurrent file operations, potentially causing system instability or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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":[{"id":"CWE-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nhfsplus: remove mutex_lock check in hfsplus_free_extents\n\nSyzbot reported an issue in hfsplus filesystem:\n\n------------[ cut here ]------------\nWARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 4400 at fs/hfsplus/extents.c:346\n\thfsplus_free_extents+0x700/0xad0\nCall Trace:\n\u003cTASK\u003e\nhfsplus_file_truncate+0x768/0xbb0 fs/hfsplus/extents.c:606\nhfsplus_write_begin+0xc2/0xd0 fs/hfsplus/inode.c:56\ncont_expand_zero fs/buffer.c:2383 [inline]\ncont_write_begin+0x2cf/0x860 fs/buffer.c:2446\nhfsplus_write_begin+0x86/0xd0 fs/hfsplus/inode.c:52\ngeneric_cont_expand_simple+0x151/0x250 fs/buffer.c:2347\nhfsplus_setattr+0x168/0x280 fs/hfsplus/inode.c:263\nnotify_change+0xe38/0x10f0 fs/attr.c:420\ndo_truncate+0x1fb/0x2e0 fs/open.c:65\ndo_sys_ftruncate+0x2eb/0x380 fs/open.c:193\ndo_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline]\ndo_syscall_64+0x3d/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80\nentry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd\n\nTo avoid deadlock, Commit 31651c607151 (\"hfsplus: avoid deadlock\non file truncation\") unlock extree before hfsplus_free_extents(),\nand add check wheather extree is locked in hfsplus_free_extents().\n\nHowever, when operations such as hfsplus_file_release,\nhfsplus_setattr, hfsplus_unlink, and hfsplus_get_block are executed\nconcurrently in different files, it is very likely to trigger the\nWARN_ON, which will lead syzbot and xfstest to consider it as an\nabnormality.\n\nThe comment above this warning also describes one of the easy\ntriggering situations, which can easily trigger and cause\nxfstest\u0026syzbot to report errors.\n\n[task A]\t\t\t[task B]\n-\u003ehfsplus_file_release\n  -\u003ehfsplus_file_truncate\n    -\u003ehfs_find_init\n      -\u003emutex_lock\n    -\u003emutex_unlock\n\t\t\t\t-\u003ehfsplus_write_begin\n\t\t\t\t  -\u003ehfsplus_get_block\n\t\t\t\t    -\u003ehfsplus_file_extend\n\t\t\t\t      -\u003ehfsplus_ext_read_extent\n\t\t\t\t        -\u003ehfs_find_init\n\t\t\t\t\t  -\u003emutex_lock\n    -\u003ehfsplus_free_extents\n      WARN_ON(mutex_is_locked) !!!\n\nSeveral threads could try to lock the shared extents tree.\nAnd warning can be triggered in one thread when another thread\nhas locked the tree.
