UBUNTU-CVE-2025-22054: Null Pointer Dereference

Q: What level of access is required to exploit this issue?

Exploitation requires local access and low privileges. No user interaction is required.

Q: What is the likely security impact?

The vulnerability affects availability: a NULL pointer dereference can cause a denial of service. The supplied vector does not indicate confidentiality or integrity impact.

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel package families are identified as affected?

The listed packages are linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-azure-fde, linux-bluefield, linux-gcp, linux-gke, and linux-realtime.

Published Apr 16, 2025

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arcnet: Add NULL check in com20020pciprobe() devmkasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently, com20020pciprobe() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference. Add NULL check after devmkasprintf() to prevent this issue and ensure no resources are left allocated.
