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-2025-38679 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-2025-38679/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38679/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38679","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38679/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38679","record":{"aliases":["AZL-66863","AZL-73821","BELL-CVE-2025-38679","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38679","GHSA-5hm5-7p65-wrq6","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38679","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38679","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38679","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38679","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38679"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel media driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing bounds check in the Linux kernel Venus media driver allows out-of-bounds reads, potentially causing crashes or information leaks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/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\nmedia: venus: Fix OOB read due to missing payload bound check\n\nCurrently, The event_seq_changed() handler processes a variable number\nof properties sent by the firmware.

However, the\npayload size is not being validated against the actual message length.\n\nThis can lead to out-of-bounds memory access if the firmware provides a\nproperty count that exceeds the data available in the payload.
