CVE-2025-39938 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2025-39938: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: qcom: q6apm-lpass-dais: Fix NULL pointer dereference if source graph failed If earlier opening of source graph fails (e.g. ADSP rejects due to incorrect audioreach topology), the graph is closed and "dai_data->graph[dai->id]" is assigned NULL. Preparing the DAI for sink graph continues though and next call to q6apm_lpass_dai_prepare() receives dai_data->graph[dai->id]=NULL leading to NULL pointer exception: qcom-apm gprsvc:service:2:1: Error (1) Processing 0x01001002 cmd qcom-apm gprsvc:service:2:1: DSP returned error[1001002] 1 q6apm-lpass-dais 30000000.remoteproc:glink-edge:gpr:service@1:bedais: fail to start APM port 78 q6apm-lpass-dais 30000000.remoteproc:glink-edge:gpr:service@1:bedais: ASoC: error at snd_soc_pcm_dai_prepare on TX_CODEC_DMA_TX_3: -22 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000a8 ...

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2025-39938

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2025-39938 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-2025-39938

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-39938.

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-2025-39938, 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.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2025-39938, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
