Overview

CVE-2025-38041 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on June 18, 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:

clk: sunxi-ng: h616: Reparent GPU clock during frequency changes

The H616 manual does not state that the GPU PLL supports

dynamic frequency configuration, so we must take extra care when changing

the frequency. Currently any attempt to do device DVFS on the GPU lead

to panfrost various ooops, and GPU hangs.

The manual describes the algorithm for changing the PLL

frequency, which the CPU PLL notifier code already support, so we reuse

that to reparent the GPU clock to GPU1 clock during frequency

changes.

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.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2025-38041?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2025-38041 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
