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-2025-40140 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-2025-40140/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40140/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-40140","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40140/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-40140","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-40140","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40140","GHSA-9f54-r6pv-hv3h","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-40140","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-40140","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-40140","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40140"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the rtl8150 USB network driver allows double URB submission, potentially causing a kernel warning and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/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\nnet: usb: Remove disruptive netif_wake_queue in rtl8150_set_multicast\n\nsyzbot reported WARNING in rtl8150_start_xmit/usb_submit_urb.\nThis is the sequence of events that leads to the warning:\n\nrtl8150_start_xmit() {\n\tnetif_stop_queue();\n\tusb_submit_urb(dev-\u003etx_urb);\n}\n\nrtl8150_set_multicast() {\n\tnetif_stop_queue();\n\tnetif_wake_queue();\t\t\u003c-- wakes up TX queue before URB is done\n}\n\nrtl8150_start_xmit() {\n\tnetif_stop_queue();\n\tusb_submit_urb(dev-\u003etx_urb);\t\u003c-- double submission\n}\n\nrtl8150_set_multicast being the ndo_set_rx_mode callback should not be\ncalling netif_stop_queue and notif_start_queue as these handle\nTX queue synchronization.\n\nThe net core function dev_set_rx_mode handles the synchronization\nfor rtl8150_set_multicast making it safe to remove these locks.","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":"net: usb: Remove disruptive netif_wake_queue in rtl8150_set_multicast","id":"CVE-2025-40140","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Bluetooth: ISO: Fix possible UAF on iso_conn_free","id":"CVE-2025-40141"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in in smc_clc_prfx_set().","id":"CVE-2025-40139"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-11-12","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the rtl8150 USB network driver allows double URB submission, potentially causing a kernel warning and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40140/"}
