CVE-2025-21730 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2025-21730: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw89: avoid to init mgnt_entry list twice when WoWLAN failed If WoWLAN failed in resume flow, the rtw89_ops_add_interface() triggered without removing the interface first. Then the mgnt_entry list init again, causing the list_empty() check in rtw89_chanctx_ops_assign_vif() useless, and list_add_tail() again. Therefore, we have added a check to prevent double adding of the list. rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: failed to check wow status disabled rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: wow: failed to check disable fw ready rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: wow: failed to swap to normal fw rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: failed to disable wow rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: failed to resume for wow -110 rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: MAC has already powered on i2c_hid_acpi i2c-ILTK0001:00: PM: acpi_subsys_resume+0x0/0x60 returned 0 after 284705 usecs list_add corruption. prev->next should be next (ffff9d9719d82228), but was ffff9d9719f96030.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2025-21730

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2025-21730 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2025-21730

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-21730.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2025-21730, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
