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-2025-39937 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-2025-39937/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-39937/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-39937","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-39937/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-39937","record":{"aliases":["AZL-68150","AZL-75333","BELL-CVE-2025-39937","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-39937","GHSA-cg67-c42g-wcjm","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-39937","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-39937","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-39937","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-39937","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-39937","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-39937"],"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":"An attacker with local access to specific hardware can cause a kernel crash by triggering a null pointer dereference in the rfkill GPIO driver.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"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\nnet: rfkill: gpio: Fix crash due to dereferencering uninitialized pointer\n\nSince commit 7d5e9737efda (\"net: rfkill: gpio: get the name and type from\ndevice property\") rfkill_find_type() gets called with the possibly\nuninitialized \"const char *type_name;\" local variable.\n\nOn x86 systems when rfkill-gpio binds to a \"BCM4752\" or \"LNV4752\"\nacpi_device, the rfkill-\u003etype is set based on the ACPI acpi_device_id:\n\n        rfkill-\u003etype = (unsigned)id-\u003edriver_data;\n\nand there is no \"type\" property so device_property_read_string() will fail\nand leave type_name uninitialized, leading to a potential crash.\n\nrfkill_find_type() does accept a NULL pointer, fix the potential crash\nby initializing type_name to NULL.\n\nNote likely sofar this has not been caught because:\n\n1.
