CVE-2025-38419
5.5 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2025-38419 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on July 25, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: core: Cleanup acquired resources when rproc_handle_resources() fails in rproc_attach()
When rproc->state = RPROC_DETACHED and rproc_attach() is used
to attach to the remote processor, if rproc_handle_resources()
returns a failure, the resources allocated by imx_rproc_prepare()
should be released, otherwise the following memory leak will occur.
Since almost the same thing is done in imx_rproc_prepare() and
rproc_resource_cleanup(), Function rproc_resource_cleanup() is able
to deal with empty lists so it is better to fix the "goto" statements
in rproc_attach(). replace the "unprepare_device" goto statement with
"clean_up_resources" and get rid of the "unprepare_device" label.
