CVE-2025-38611
CVSS v2.0
7.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
The Linux kernel contains a flaw in the vmci subsystem where uninitialized payloads can be dispatched. This occurs when the
init context function fails, leading to incomplete initialization of the vmci event ctx structure. Consequently, the vmci datagram dispatch() function may send events with uninitialized data to other vm contexts. This can result in kernel data leakage to user space via the datagram payload.Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
