Overview

CVE-2025-39960 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 9, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3, rated HIGH. 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:

gpiolib: acpi: initialize acpi_gpio_info struct

Since commit 7c010d463372 ("gpiolib: acpi: Make sure we fill struct

acpi_gpio_info"), uninitialized acpi_gpio_info struct are passed to

__acpi_find_gpio() and later in the call stack info->quirks is used in

acpi_populate_gpio_lookup. This breaks the i2c_hid_cpi driver:

[ 58.122916] i2c_hid_acpi i2c-UNIW0001:00: HID over i2c has not been provided an Int IRQ

[ 58.123097] i2c_hid_acpi i2c-UNIW0001:00: probe with driver i2c_hid_acpi failed with error -22

Fix this by initializing the acpi_gpio_info pass to __acpi_find_gpio()

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.
