Overview

CVE-2025-37784 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 1, 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:

net: ti: icss-iep: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference for perout request

The ICSS IEP driver tracks perout and pps enable state with flags.

Currently when disabling pps and perout signals during icss_iep_exit(),

results in NULL pointer dereference for perout.

To fix the null pointer dereference issue, the icss_iep_perout_enable_hw

function can be modified to directly clear the IEP CMP registers when

disabling PPS or PEROUT, without referencing the ptp_perout_request

structure, as its contents are irrelevant in this case.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
