CVE-2025-37782: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hfs/hfsplus: fix slab-out-of-bounds in hfs_bnode_read_key Syzbot reported an issue in hfs subsystem: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in memcpy_from_page include/linux/highmem.h:423 [inline] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in hfs_bnode_read fs/hfs/bnode.c:35 [inline] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in hfs_bnode_read_key+0x314/0x450 fs/hfs/bnode.c:70 Write of size 94 at addr ffff8880123cd100 by task syz-executor237/5102 Call Trace: <TASK> __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:94 [inline] dump_stack_lvl+0x241/0x360 lib/dump_stack.c:120 print_address_description mm/kasan/report.c:377 [inline] print_report+0x169/0x550 mm/kasan/report.c:488 kasan_report+0x143/0x180 mm/kasan/report.c:601 kasan_check_range+0x282/0x290 mm/kasan/generic.c:189 __asan_memcpy+0x40/0x70 mm/kasan/shadow.c:106 memcpy_from_page include/linux/highmem.h:423 [inline] hfs_bnode_read fs/hfs/bnode.c:35 [inline] hfs_bnode_read_key+0x314/0x450 fs/hfs/bnode.c:70 hfs_brec_insert+0x7f3/0xbd0 fs/hfs/brec.c:159 hfs_cat_create+0x41d/0xa50 fs/hfs/catalog.c:118 hfs_mkdir+0x6c/0xe0 fs/hfs/dir.c:232 vfs_mkdir+0x2f9/0x4f0 fs/namei.c:4257 do_mkdirat+0x264/0x3a0 fs/namei.c:4280 __do_sys_mkdir fs/namei.c:4300 [inline] __se_sys_mkdir fs/namei.c:4298 [inline] __x64_sys_mkdir+0x6c/0x80 fs/namei.c:4298 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xf3/0x230 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f RIP: 0033:0x7fbdd6057a99 Add a check for key length in hfs_bnode_read_key to prevent out-of-bounds memory access. If the key length is invalid, the key buffer is cleared, improving stability and reliability.
The exploitability of CVE-2025-37782 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).
No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-37782.
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.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2025-37782, 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.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2025-37782, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
