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-2025-38710 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. 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-2025-38710/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38710/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38710","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38710/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38710","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-38710","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38710","GHSA-c47v-8m9c-7hhr","OESA-2025-2312","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38710","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38710","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38710","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-38710","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38710"],"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 missing validation in the Linux kernel GFS2 filesystem allows a local attacker to trigger undefined behavior via a zero depth value, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ngfs2: Validate i_depth for exhash directories\n\nA fuzzer test introduced corruption that ends up with a depth of 0 in\ndir_e_read(), causing an undefined shift by 32 at:\n\n  index = hash \u003e\u003e (32 - dip-\u003ei_depth);\n\nAs calculated in an open-coded way in dir_make_exhash(), the minimum\ndepth for an exhash directory is ilog2(sdp-\u003esd_hash_ptrs) and 0 is\ninvalid as sdp-\u003esd_hash_ptrs is fixed as sdp-\u003ebsize / 16 at mount time.\n\nSo we can avoid the undefined behaviour by checking for depth values\nlower than the minimum in gfs2_dinode_in().
