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-2025-40110 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: 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-2025-40110/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40110/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-40110","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40110/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-40110","record":{"aliases":["AZL-69953","BELL-CVE-2025-40110","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40110","GHSA-pvw2-x3cx-mv2h","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-40110","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-40110","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-40110","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-40110","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-40110","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40110"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can cause a denial of service in the Linux kernel via a null pointer dereference in the vmwgfx cursor snooper.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/vmwgfx: Fix a null-ptr access in the cursor snooper\n\nCheck that the resource which is converted to a surface exists before\ntrying to use the cursor snooper on it.\n\nvmw_cmd_res_check allows explicit invalid (SVGA3D_INVALID_ID) identifiers\nbecause some svga commands accept SVGA3D_INVALID_ID to mean \"no surface\",\nunfortunately functions that accept the actual surfaces as objects might\n(and in case of the cursor snooper, do not) be able to handle null\nobjects.
