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-2025-71139 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. 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-2025-71139/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71139/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-71139","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71139/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-71139","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-71139","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-71139","GHSA-jp7x-4qxm-3gv8","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-71139"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel kexec subsystem can cause a system crash when IMA is used with CMA allocations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nkernel/kexec: fix IMA when allocation happens in CMA area\n\n*** Bug description ***\n\nWhen I tested kexec with the latest kernel, I ran into the following warning:\n\n[   40.712410] ------------[ cut here ]------------\n[   40.712576] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1562 at kernel/kexec_core.c:1001 kimage_map_segment+0x144/0x198\n[...]\n[   40.816047] Call trace:\n[   40.818498]  kimage_map_segment+0x144/0x198 (P)\n[   40.823221]  ima_kexec_post_load+0x58/0xc0\n[   40.827246]  __do_sys_kexec_file_load+0x29c/0x368\n[...]\n[   40.855423] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---\n\n*** How to reproduce ***\n\nThis bug is only triggered when the kexec target address is allocated in\nthe CMA area.

In this case, there is no IND_SOURCE\nfor the kexec segment.  But the current implementation of\nkimage_map_segment() assumes that IND_SOURCE pages exist and map them\ninto a contiguous virtual address by vmap().\n\n*** Solution ***\nIf IMA segment is allocated in the CMA area, use its page_address()\ndirectly.","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":"kernel/kexec: fix IMA when allocation happens in CMA area","id":"CVE-2025-71139","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"media: mediatek: vcodec: Use spinlock for context list protection lock","id":"CVE-2025-71140"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/msm/dpu: Add missing NULL pointer check for pingpong interface","id":"CVE-2025-71138"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-01-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"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 kexec subsystem can cause a system crash when IMA is used with CMA allocations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71139/"}
