Overview

CVE-2025-39712 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 5, 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:

media: mt9m114: Fix deadlock in get_frame_interval/set_frame_interval

Getting / Setting the frame interval using the V4L2 subdev pad ops

get_frame_interval/set_frame_interval causes a deadlock, as the

subdev state is locked in the [1] but also in the driver itself.

In [2] it's described that the caller is responsible to acquire and

release the lock in this case. Therefore, acquiring the lock in the

driver is wrong.

Remove the lock acquisitions/releases from mt9m114_ifp_get_frame_interval()

and mt9m114_ifp_set_frame_interval().

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.
