CVE-2025-38545 is fixed in 13 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38545, released August 16, 2025. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2025-38545 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 5.5 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0031 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Aug 16, 2025 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: Fix skb size by accounting for skb_shared_info While transitioning from netdev_alloc_ip_align() to build_skb(), memory for the "skb_shared_info" member of an "skb" was not allocated. Fix this by allocating "PAGE_SIZE" as the skb length, accounting for the packet length, headroom and tailroom, thereby including the required memory space for skb_shared_info. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | dtb-aarch64 opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-64kb opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-64kb sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:21139-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-21139-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-default opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-default sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:21139-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-21139-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-default-base opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1.160000.2.4 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-default-base sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1.160000.2.4 | [SUSE-SU-2025:21139-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-21139-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-docs opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-docs sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:21139-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-21139-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-kvmsmall opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-kvmsmall sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:21139-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-21139-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-obs-build opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-obs-qa opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-obs-qa sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:21139-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-21139-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-rt opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-source opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-source sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:21139-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-21139-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-syms opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-syms sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:21139-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-21139-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-zfcpdump opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-20081-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-zfcpdump sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.6.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:21139-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-21139-1.md) | Nov 25, 2025 | | Linux | linux Debian 13.5 (trixie) | 6.12.41-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38545](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2025-38545.md) | Aug 16, 2025 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 6.16.3-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38545](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2025-38545.md) | Aug 16, 2025 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T06:59:42Z UTC.
