TIMELINE Apr 16 Reserved by Linux Aug 16 Published (CNA: Linux) Jul 30 RESCORED — CVE-2025-38533 (Linux). CVSS 9.8 → 7.8 (NVD).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: libwx: fix the using of Rx buffer DMA The wx_rx_buffer structure contained two DMA address fields: 'dma' and 'page_dma'. However, only 'page_dma' was actually initialized and used to program the Rx descriptor. But 'dma' was uninitialized and used in some paths. This could lead to undefined behavior, including DMA errors or use-after-free, if the uninitialized 'dma' was used. Althrough such error has not yet occurred, it is worth fixing in the code.
