NewCVE-2025-38035 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 kernel.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-tcp: don't restore null sk_state_change
queue->state_change is set as part of nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock(), but if the TCP connection isn't established when nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock() is called then queue->state_change isn't set and sock->sk->sk_state_change isn't replaced.
As such we don't need to restore sock->sk->sk_state_change if queue->state_change is NULL.
This avoids NULL pointer dereferences such as this:
