CVE-2025-37860: Linux kernel may crash during network setup
CVE-2025-37860 · published 1 year ago
Summary
A code mistake in the Linux kernel could cause a null reference when the system initializes certain network settings, potentially leading to a crash. This affects Debian and Canonical Linux kernel packages, including standard and AWS variants. Install the latest kernel updates from your distribution to apply the fix.

Original advisory text
BELL-CVE-2025-37860
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sfc: fix NULL dereferences in ef100_process_design_param()
Since cited commit, ef100_probe_main() and hence also
ef100_check_design_params() run before efx->net_dev is created;
consequently, we cannot netif_set_tso_max_size() or _segs() at this
point.
Move those netif calls to ef100_probe_netdev(), and also replace
netif_err within the design params code with pci_err.
