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-2025-38700 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-2025-38700/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38700/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38700","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38700/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38700","record":{"aliases":["AZL-66905","AZL-73932","BELL-CVE-2025-38700","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38700","GHSA-4vq4-24qf-gq5w","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38700","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38700","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38700","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38700","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38700"],"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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel iSER driver causes a system panic during connection teardown if memory allocation fails.","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":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-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nscsi: libiscsi: Initialize iscsi_conn-\u003edd_data only if memory is allocated\n\nIn case of an ib_fast_reg_mr allocation failure during iSER setup, the\nmachine hits a panic because iscsi_conn-\u003edd_data is initialized\nunconditionally, even when no memory is allocated (dd_size == 0).
