Overview

CVE-2025-38283 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 10, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, 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:

hisi_acc_vfio_pci: bugfix live migration function without VF device driver

If the VF device driver is not loaded in the Guest OS and we attempt to

perform device data migration, the address of the migrated data will

be NULL.

The live migration recovery operation on the destination side will

access a null address value, which will cause access errors.

Therefore, live migration of VMs without added VF device drivers

does not require device data migration.

In addition, when the queue address data obtained by the destination

is empty, device queue recovery processing will not be performed.

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.
