UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38037: Low severity ubuntu/linux vulnerability

Q: Which systems are exposed to this issue?

Systems running an affected Ubuntu Linux kernel variant listed in the advisory are relevant only where VXLAN forwarding database entries are used. The affected package families include the standard, AWS, Azure, GCP, and FIPS kernel variants.

Q: What conditions are needed to trigger the reported race?

The race requires concurrent access to the VXLAN FDB entry's 'used' and 'updated' fields by multiple threads. The report shows it occurring during VXLAN packet transmission.

Q: Does this issue indicate a direct confidentiality, integrity, or availability impact?

The supplied severity vector assigns no confidentiality, integrity, or availability impact. The resolution annotates concurrent accesses with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to suppress Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer data-race reports.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vxlan: Annotate FDB data races The 'used' and 'updated' fields in the FDB entry structure can be accessed concurrently by multiple threads, leading to reports such as [1]. Can be reproduced using [2]. Suppress these reports by annotating these accesses using READONCE() / WRITEONCE().

Frequently Asked Questions

Which systems are exposed to this issue?

Systems running an affected Ubuntu Linux kernel variant listed in the advisory are relevant only where VXLAN forwarding database entries are used. The affected package families include the standard, AWS, Azure, GCP, and FIPS kernel variants.

What conditions are needed to trigger the reported race?

The race requires concurrent access to the VXLAN FDB entry's 'used' and 'updated' fields by multiple threads. The report shows it occurring during VXLAN packet transmission.

Does this issue indicate a direct confidentiality, integrity, or availability impact?

The supplied severity vector assigns no confidentiality, integrity, or availability impact. The resolution annotates concurrent accesses with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to suppress Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer data-race reports.
