CVE-2025-38573: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: cs42l43: Property entry should be a null-terminated array The software node does not specify a count of property entries, so the array must be null-terminated. When unterminated, this can lead to a fault in the downstream cs35l56 amplifier driver, because the node parse walks off the end of the array into unknown memory.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.11, before 6.12.42 (fixed in 6.12.42); from 6.13, before 6.15.10 (fixed in 6.15.10); from 6.16, before 6.16.1 (fixed in 6.16.1)
