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-2025-71232 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-2025-71232/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71232/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-71232","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71232/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-71232","record":{"aliases":["AZL-77963","BELL-CVE-2025-71232","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-71232","GHSA-3w2g-4qx3-2mmw","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-71232","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-71232","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-71232","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-71232","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-71232"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the qla2xxx SCSI driver causes a system crash during module unload, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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":[{"id":"CWE-772","name":"Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime"},{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nscsi: qla2xxx: Free sp in error path to fix system crash\n\nSystem crash seen during load/unload test in a loop,\n\n[61110.449331] qla2xxx [0000:27:00.0]-0042:0: Disabled MSI-X.\n[61110.467494] =============================================================================\n[61110.467498] BUG qla2xxx_srbs (Tainted: G           OE    --------  --- ): Objects remaining in qla2xxx_srbs on __kmem_cache_shutdown()\n[61110.467501] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n[61110.467502] Slab 0x000000000ffc8162 objects=51 used=1 fp=0x00000000e25d3d85 flags=0x57ffffc0010200(slab|head|node=1|zone=2|lastcpupid=0x1fffff)\n[61110.467509] CPU: 53 PID: 455206 Comm: rmmod Kdump: loaded Tainted: G           OE    --------  ---  5.14.0-284.11.1.el9_2.x86_64 #1\n[61110.467513] Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus v2/ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus v2, BIOS A42 08/17/2023\n[61110.467515] Call Trace:\n[61110.467516]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[61110.467519]  dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x48\n[61110.467526]  slab_err.cold+0x53/0x67\n[61110.467534]  __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x16e/0x320\n[61110.467540]  kmem_cache_destroy+0x51/0x160\n[61110.467544]  qla2x00_module_exit+0x93/0x99 [qla2xxx]\n[61110.467607]  ?
