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-2025-38701 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-2025-38701/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38701/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38701","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38701/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38701","record":{"aliases":["AZL-66899","AZL-73881","BELL-CVE-2025-38701","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38701","GHSA-x687-v76r-f9gw","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38701","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38701","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38701","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38701","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38701"],"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 maliciously crafted filesystem image can trigger a kernel BUG_ON crash in ext4, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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-617","name":"Reachable Assertion"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\next4: do not BUG when INLINE_DATA_FL lacks system.data xattr\n\nA syzbot fuzzed image triggered a BUG_ON in ext4_update_inline_data()\nwhen an inode had the INLINE_DATA_FL flag set but was missing the\nsystem.data extended attribute.\n\nSince this can happen due to a maiciouly fuzzed file system, we\nshouldn't BUG, but rather, report it as a corrupted file system.\n\nAdd similar replacements of BUG_ON with EXT4_ERROR_INODE() ii\next4_create_inline_data() and ext4_inline_data_truncate().","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"ext4: do not BUG when INLINE_DATA_FL lacks system.data xattr","id":"CVE-2025-38701","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"fbdev: fix potential buffer overflow in do_register_framebuffer()","id":"CVE-2025-38702"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"scsi: libiscsi: Initialize iscsi_conn-\u003edd_data only if memory is allocated","id":"CVE-2025-38700"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-09-04","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A maliciously crafted filesystem image can trigger a kernel BUG_ON crash in ext4, causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38701/"}
