Technical description

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

remoteproc: core: Cleanup acquired resources when rproc_handle_resources() fails in rproc_attach()

When rproc->state = RPROC_DETACHED and rproc_attach() is used

to attach to the remote processor, if rproc_handle_resources()

returns a failure, the resources allocated by imx_rproc_prepare()

should be released, otherwise the following memory leak will occur.

Since almost the same thing is done in imx_rproc_prepare() and

rproc_resource_cleanup(), Function rproc_resource_cleanup() is able

to deal with empty lists so it is better to fix the "goto" statements

in rproc_attach(). replace the "unprepare_device" goto statement with

"clean_up_resources" and get rid of the "unprepare_device" label.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2025-38419?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2025-38419 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.
