Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2025-08-22 11:09 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:09 – Source websiteThe Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.
Security Fix(es):
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.1.146/6.6.99/6.12.39/6.15.7 (Operating System).CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-416. Referencing memory after it has been freed can cause a program to crash, use unexpected values, or execute code.This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.Upgrading to version 6.1.147, 6.6.100, 6.12.40 or 6.15.8 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 466e10194ab81caa2ee6a332d33ba16bcceeeba6/fbe48f06e64134dfeafa89ad23387f66ebca3527/a6d735100f602c830c16d69fb6d780eebd8c9ae1/c000a3a330d97f6c073ace5aa5faf94b9adb4b79/5e28d5a3f774f118896aec17a3a20a9c5c9dfc64 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at git.kernel.org. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.(CVE-2025-38477)
