Overview

CVE-2025-38292 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. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

wifi: ath12k: fix invalid access to memory

In ath12k_dp_rx_msdu_coalesce(), rxcb is fetched from skb and boolean

is_continuation is part of rxcb.

Currently, after freeing the skb, the rxcb->is_continuation accessed

again which is wrong since the memory is already freed.

This might lead use-after-free error.

Hence, fix by locally defining bool is_continuation from rxcb,

so that after freeing skb, is_continuation can be used.

Compile tested only.

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.
