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-2025-40262 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-2025-40262/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40262/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-40262","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40262/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-40262","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-40262","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40262","GHSA-2m33-w232-qf59","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-40262","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-40262","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-40262","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-40262","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40262"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory corruption vulnerability in the Linux kernel's imx_sc_key driver allows attackers to cause crashes or potentially execute code via improper pointer handling during module unload.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/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\nInput: imx_sc_key - fix memory corruption on unload\n\nThis is supposed to be \"priv\" but we accidentally pass \"\u0026priv\" which is\nan address in the stack and so it will lead to memory corruption when\nthe imx_sc_key_action() function is called.
