7.8 · HIGH
Published Apr 16, 2025 linux EPSS 0.20% (10th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-22102 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on April 16, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. 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:

Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Fix kernel panic during FW release

This fixes a kernel panic seen during release FW in a stress test

scenario where WLAN and BT FW download occurs simultaneously, and due to

a HW bug, chip sends out only 1 bootloader signatures.

When driver receives the bootloader signature, it enters FW download

mode, but since no consequtive bootloader signatures seen, FW file is

not requested.

After 60 seconds, when FW download times out, release_firmware causes a

kernel panic.
