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-2025-71238 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-2025-71238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71238/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-71238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71238/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-71238","record":{"aliases":["AZL-78647","BELL-CVE-2025-71238","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-71238","GHSA-7hgf-78m2-x598","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-71238","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-71238","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-71238","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-71238","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-71238","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-71238"],"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 double free vulnerability in the qla2xxx SCSI driver causes a kernel panic, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-415","name":"Double Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nscsi: qla2xxx: Fix bsg_done() causing double free\n\nKernel panic observed on system,\n\n[5353358.825191] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ff5f5e897b024000\n[5353358.825194] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode\n[5353358.825195] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page\n[5353358.825196] PGD 100006067 P4D 0\n[5353358.825198] Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI\n[5353358.825200] CPU: 5 PID: 2132085 Comm: qlafwupdate.sub Kdump: loaded Tainted: G        W    L    -------  ---  5.14.0-503.34.1.el9_5.x86_64 #1\n[5353358.825203] Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11/ProLiant DL360 Gen11, BIOS 2.44 01/17/2025\n[5353358.825204] RIP: 0010:memcpy_erms+0x6/0x10\n[5353358.825211] RSP: 0018:ff591da8f4f6b710 EFLAGS: 00010246\n[5353358.825212] RAX: ff5f5e897b024000 RBX: 0000000000007090 RCX: 0000000000001000\n[5353358.825213] RDX: 0000000000001000 RSI: ff591da8f4fed090 RDI: ff5f5e897b024000\n[5353358.825214] RBP: 0000000000010000 R08: ff5f5e897b024000 R09: 0000000000000000\n[5353358.825215] R10: ff46cf8c40517000 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 0000000000008090\n[5353358.825216] R13: ff591da8f4f6b720 R14: 0000000000001000 R15: 0000000000000000\n[5353358.825218] FS:  00007f1e88d47740(0000) GS:ff46cf935f940000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n[5353358.825219] CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n[5353358.825220] CR2: ff5f5e897b024000 CR3: 0000000231532004 CR4: 0000000000771ef0\n[5353358.825221] PKRU: 55555554\n[5353358.825222] Call Trace:\n[5353358.825223]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[5353358.825224]  ? show_trace_log_lvl+0x1c4/0x2df\n[5353358.825229]  ? show_trace_log_lvl+0x1c4/0x2df\n[5353358.825232]  ? sg_copy_buffer+0xc8/0x110\n[5353358.825236]  ? __die_body.cold+0x8/0xd\n[5353358.825238]  ? page_fault_oops+0x134/0x170\n[5353358.825242]  ? kernelmode_fixup_or_oops+0x84/0x110\n[5353358.825244]  ? exc_page_fault+0xa8/0x150\n[5353358.825247]  ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x22/0x30\n[5353358.825252]  ? memcpy_erms+0x6/0x10\n[5353358.825253]  sg_copy_buffer+0xc8/0x110\n[5353358.825259]  qla2x00_process_vendor_specific+0x652/0x1320 [qla2xxx]\n[5353358.825317]  qla24xx_bsg_request+0x1b2/0x2d0 [qla2xxx]\n\nMost routines in qla_bsg.c call bsg_done() only for success cases.\nHowever a few invoke it for failure case as well leading to a double\nfree.
