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-2025-40193 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-2025-40193/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40193/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-40193","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40193/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-40193","record":{"aliases":["AZL-70109","BELL-CVE-2025-40193","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40193","GHSA-j56r-hrh7-8349","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-40193","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-40193","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-40193","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-40193","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40193"],"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 local attacker can cause a kernel crash by passing invalid input to the xtensa simdisk proc write function.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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\nxtensa: simdisk: add input size check in proc_write_simdisk\n\nA malicious user could pass an arbitrarily bad value\nto memdup_user_nul(), potentially causing kernel crash.\n\nThis follows the same pattern as commit ee76746387f6\n(\"netdevsim: prevent bad user input in nsim_dev_health_break_write()\")","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":"xtensa: simdisk: add input size check in proc_write_simdisk","id":"CVE-2025-40193","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix object lifecycle issue in update_qos_request()","id":"CVE-2025-40194"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Revert \"ipmi: fix msg stack when IPMI is disconnected\"","id":"CVE-2025-40192"},"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 local attacker can cause a kernel crash by passing invalid input to the xtensa simdisk proc write function.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40193/"}
