Overview

CVE-2025-38287 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 10, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. 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:

IB/cm: Drop lockdep assert and WARN when freeing old msg

The send completion handler can run after cm_id has advanced to another

message. The cm_id lock is not needed in this case, but a recent change

re-used cm_free_priv_msg(), which asserts that the lock is held and

WARNs if the cm_id's currently outstanding msg is different than the one

being freed.

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.
