CVE-2025-38160: clk: bcm: rpi: Add NULL check in raspberrypi_clk_register()

MediumCVSS 5.5 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.19% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 0a2712cd24ecfeb520af60f6f859b442c7ab01ff, 1b69a5299f28ce8e6afa37c3690dbc14c3a1f53f, 3c1adc2f8c732ea09e8c4bce5941fec019c6205d; azl3 kernel 6.6.92.2-2 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.96.1-1; azl3 kernel 6.6.96.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.96.1-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 0a2712cd24ecfeb520af60f6f859b442c7ab01ff, 1b69a5299f28ce8e6afa37c3690dbc14c3a1f53f, 3c1adc2f8c732ea09e8c4bce5941fec019c6205d; azl3 kernel 6.6.92.2-2 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.96.1-1; azl3 kernel 6.6.96.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.96.1-1 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: bcm: rpi: Add NULL check in raspberrypi_clk_register() devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently, raspberrypi_clk_register() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference. Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.
