9.8 · CRITICAL
Published May 20, 2025 linux EPSS 0.47% (39th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-37935 is a critical-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 20, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 (CRITICAL).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, rated CRITICAL. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: fix SER panic with 4GB+ RAM

If the mtk_poll_rx() function detects the MTK_RESETTING flag, it will

jump to release_desc and refill the high word of the SDP on the 4GB RFB.

Subsequently, mtk_rx_clean will process an incorrect SDP, leading to a

panic.

Add patch from MediaTek's SDK to resolve this.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. 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.
