CVE-2025-38737 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The AlmaLinux security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for AlmaLinux:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf package and not the libperf package as distributed by AlmaLinux.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix oops due to uninitialised variable
Fix smb3_init_transform_rq() to initialise buffer to NULL before calling netfs_alloc_folioq_buffer() as netfs assumes it can append to the buffer it is given. Setting it to NULL means it should start a fresh buffer, but the value is currently undefined.
