Overview

CVE-2025-39922 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 1, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).

Technical description

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

ixgbe: fix incorrect map used in eee linkmode

incorrectly used ixgbe_lp_map in loops intended to populate the

supported and advertised EEE linkmode bitmaps based on ixgbe_ls_map.

This results in incorrect bit setting and potential out-of-bounds

access, since ixgbe_lp_map and ixgbe_ls_map have different sizes

and purposes.

ixgbe_lp_map[i] -> ixgbe_ls_map[i]

Use ixgbe_ls_map for supported and advertised linkmodes, and keep

ixgbe_lp_map usage only for link partner (lp_advertised) mapping.

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.
