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-2025-40162 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-2025-40162/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40162/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-40162","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40162/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-40162","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-40162","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40162","GHSA-rgxq-f336-55c2","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40162"],"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":"none","summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel AMD SoundWire driver can cause a system crash if memory allocation fails during debug logging.","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\nASoC: amd/sdw_utils: avoid NULL deref when devm_kasprintf() fails\n\ndevm_kasprintf() may return NULL on memory allocation failure,\nbut the debug message prints cpus-\u003edai_name before checking it.\nMove the dev_dbg() call after the NULL check to prevent potential\nNULL pointer dereference.","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":"ASoC: amd/sdw_utils: avoid NULL deref when devm_kasprintf() fails","id":"CVE-2025-40162","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"sched/deadline: Stop dl_server before CPU goes offline","id":"CVE-2025-40163"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"mailbox: zynqmp-ipi: Fix SGI cleanup on unbind","id":"CVE-2025-40161"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-11-12","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel AMD SoundWire driver can cause a system crash if memory allocation fails during debug logging.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40162/"}
